Number 9

Phones are important

Or at least we think they are

They seem so necessary

In today’s world

Many of us think we can’t survive without one

I don’t think that’s really true though

If we really wanted to we could go back

We could live without cell phones

But the point here isn’t about that

It’s about my phone

And others

We all know

Well, we should all know

About a little thing called speed dial

I have people programmed in my cell

It’s really quite simple to do

The hard part comes with the choice

Where do I put him?

Or where do I put her?

That’s what this is really about

All about a boy

I put him in my phone

At first he was a nobody to me

Then he was a somebody

He wasn’t just a somebody either

He was somebody important

So I had to get a ring for him

And a number

There was a choice

I had to move someone else

I don’t even remember who I moved

But he became a number on my list

Then he left

And the more I tried to forget

It just didn’t work

So I had to take him out

I had to move someone else up again

I don’t even know who I moved

But it was someone

Someone took number 9
