One of the joys of modern life
Robots nag like an alert wife
Phone's to do list says: Mow the grass
In five minutes your bus will pass.
ZOOM
Up pops a message about Zoom
Requesting, 'Ma'am, please join the room,'
The word Ma'am tells me caller's Delhi,
Like Bollywood on the telly
BUS
I won't say, 'No. I'm on a bus.'
I never like to make a fuss
I quickly mute, I have no choice
Can't broadcast bus's robot voice
TRAIN
Then next I'm sitting on a train
With groups I'll never see again
Their clothes boast about where they've been
Who they are, and what sights they're seen.

Roller shoes. Photo by Angela Lansbury.
When not on trains some like to run
On sunny days jogging is fun
I saw roller shoes on that train
Which took me out then home again.
