It finally happened, my iPod nano died. I have had my sleek black friend for a couple of years now and the battery finally gave out because of daily use. On Saturday night while on a date with my hubby I was able to con--ah hem--talk him into buying me my shiny new electric blue nano. I was so happy to see that it is finally back to a decent shape and has a huge screen along with all kinds of other cool stuff. So, I thought I would try my hand at poetry(or something like it) to express my deep feelings of love for my friend. DISCLAIMER...I am most certainly not a poet and my only real reference is Dr. Seuss AND I am really, really bored right now AND looking for a way to entertain myself. So, with that said, here goes.....
My Nano Friend
My compact electric blue companion
I take you wherever I go
You are small shiny and cool
And you can sense my every mood
I listen to you while in the shower
You're with me when scrubbing toilets
While folding laundry and vacuuming the floor
I crawl under the covers and hold you close when I am feeling blue
I strap you on to keep the beat while toning and tightening
I plug you in to dance and run and fly around the house
You can connect me with people feeling the same as I
With one click of your dial I can express my emotions
I can escape my day and travel to another place with you
You are always there for me ready and waiting
I am not pleased with the flow and it could use a lot more work. I'll have to think about it some more and see what I can come up with. Hopefully it's not completely lame. I figure that if you're not willing to be lame every once in a while (or more often if you're me) then life will get pretty boring. I am open to a complete redo of my first try at poetry. Any suggestions? I bet Jenny could do an amazing job with it! I need to take as many people to the lame side with me as I can. :) Anyway, I really do have a pretty serious addiction to my iPod and I listen to it every single day. I guess you could say that my real addiction is music, but without the iPod I would have to inflict this addiction onto the rest of my family and with those earphones in, the rest of the world can just fade away.

So what exactly are you saying, Heath? That I'm SUPER lame and so I could do a good job with it? Huh? Well, you're probably right, but seriously, it's really just obsessive compulsive behavior. If I were to try and write a poem I would spend hours picking at it and then end up throwing it away in the end. Besides, you've got that creative side and I think your poem was SUPER COOL just the way it is! And for those of you who are reading this comment and haven't seen the new iPod... I can attest that it is very pretty. Fun to listen to AND to look at!
Okay, just have to say JEAL-OUS! I thought your poem was fun...not TOO super lame. :-) Now, take that old ipod of yours, wrap it up in a padded envelope and send it my way. I will figure out how to install a new battery (with the help of my geeky computer husband) and give it years of new love. No, seriously, I'm still using mom's clunky old ipod from about 7 years ago. It is sad, sad, sad. Sadder than the ones Ed gave his kids, sad enough that they probably can't give them away on Ebay for free. :-) It's just sad. Oh, and now we all need to see a picture of you with your new ipod rockin' out. :-)
