The other day when we were walking

She browsed her phone while I was talking

We were to eat as a pair

But she seemed to care

More for her own bright backlighting

 

Straight out of her phone he did fly

He served looks so hot they could fry

I stopped with a start

He smiled so smart

I prepared myself for a good cry

 

This android was just what I feared

The straight chin and dazzling beard

She turned after him

My outlook was grim

A dinner without her now leered

 

He turned and looked deep into me

Through eyes into soul he did see

He moved with a whir

Leaving with her

They left me ignoring my plea

 

And then he turned back just to wail

“It’s fifty percent off on sale

At Cleo’s is best

On top of the rest

Low prices to make you go pale”

 

What he then said now fills me with fear

“Get a Rizzo’s subscription this year

For new things each week

The rivaling products leak!

Now including free shipping near here”

 

My girlfriend quite loves that ideal

Which embodies what isn’t quite real

Thanks to her phone

I ate alone

Not knowing how I really feel
