An electronic leech Always there for an unwelcome beep Now in musical ringtones Troubling people's sleep! (Leech: One that preys on or clings to another; a parasite) An electronic leech Carry it around Become a mom Without a baby to be proud! An electronic leech Now with online feeds Wiring people Emptying wallets Jamming networks And disconnecting the souls! An electronic leech Sticks to you and sucks money The more you use The more you lose! An electronic leech A technological marvel Makes you available Even when you want to escape! An electronic leech A communication gadget People use to Work less, chat more! An electronic leech Extending advances in telephony Decreasing distances Increasing expenses! An electronic leech A must-do accessory Without which People are not at ease! An electronic leech For people on the move Busy doing nothing But typing unwanted sms'es! An electronic leech With hard to figure tariff plans And harder to understand bills! An electronic leech With incoming free And outgoing @ minimum And the world goes astray! An electronic leech Even the service providers Don't know what plans they keep And poor consumers! We have to pay for its upkeep! An electronic leech Unleasing the power of TLA's Through an avalanche of sms messages (TLA - Three Letter Acronyms, such as this one!) An electronic leech Always rings when in a meeting An unwelcome intrusion When someone is sleeping! An electronic leech Now in sizes so small Wonder why to carry it at all! An electronic leech Sleek and wonderful Sit in an auto Search where it fell! An electronic leech Rings at the most inopportune time! Never when expected Always unexpected! An electronic leech Call it a free fall into penury! It is a boon, But, that's in a disguise! And people who use it Need to be wise! ~ Chirayu This page was last updated on Sat., the 28th of June 2003 at 11:10 a.m. IST by Chirayu PS: Would you like to add some more verses?
