Waterproof

I dropped my mobile into my coffee

And it never worked as well again

It made it come out somewhat frothy

And it spoilt the latte – such a shame

A friend has dropped his into his beer

It made a good splash and wasted some cash

So that glass of lager became rather dear

And my mother has  dropped hers into her tea

A bad idea this as turned out to be

And alas one fell out of the boat in the sea

It slipped over the brink and into the drink

We all watched it sink as it made us think

That why all this happens isn’t quite clear

Some have been cleaned in the washing machine

Or gone one load higher in the hot tumble dryer

And I’ve heard of one that went down the toilet

Not only wet but would certainly spoil it

If it falls in the saucepan you could even boil it

My last one drowned in the Dog’s water bowl

If it wasn’t annoying it would have been droll

So clearly the manufacturers ought’a

Make all their cell phones resistant to water
