Efficiency Expert
The efficiency expert concluded his lecture with a note of caution.
"You may not want to try these techniques at home."
"Why not?" asked someone from the back of the audience.
"Well, I watched my wife's routine at making breakfast for years,”
the expert explained. "She made lots of trips to the refrigerator,
stove, table and cabinets, often carrying just a single item at a time.
"One day, I said, 'Hon, why don't you try rearranging the utensils and
skillets and things so they are closer together, and carry several things
at once?'"
The voice from the back asked, "Did it save time?"
"Actually, yes," the expert replied. "It used to take her 20 minutes to
get my breakfast ready and now I do it in seven.”

My new phone is "smart." I guess that I'm not.
Amazing what all this here smart phone has got.
TV and Weather and Internet, too.
There's just no limits to what it can do.
Check my blood pressure and my temperature
Without even probing all my apertures.
I now know the time in Paris or Greece.
I can track the migration of thousands of geese
Or find Chinese food; it's here on this map.
Oops, my finger just slipped, now where was that at?
A camera...a CAMERA! Now I can take shots
Of everyone I know (who'd rather I not).
Push this here button and take me a "selfie."
(If it had a nose would this thing take a "smellfie"?)
Email to pester with, video to shoot,
Maps to drive 'round with, wow that's a hoot!
A compass to guide me home if I'm lost.
Thank God work paid for this thing (what it COSTS!).
The things that it does would amaze Mr. Bell.
What he would have thought of it, no one can tell,
But one question's still stuck in my middle-aged craw.
Despite all the gizmos that strike me with awe,
They're fun and they're useful and "techy" and all
...But how do I just simply make a phone call?
