Twas the night before iPhone,
we’d seen it before,
the dorks and the geeks
click-click-clicking once more.
The nerds, not lined up,
As before was their custom,
This time more relaxed
For pre-ordered they must-of.
Version 4 of the iPhone
Would arrive right on cue
For all good girls and boys
Just like me and like you.
Lauren snug in her jammies,
But Brad’s plane delayed,
Lloyd saying goodbye —
His old iPhone dismayed.
When what to his clickity
Mouse should show up?
This time Fake Steve Jobs
Who knew it? What luck!
“More gigabytes! More battery!
Gyroscopes and compasses!
HD video recording!
Better cameras with flashes!
The display? Twice as good
Yes, we think it’s a winner
Now with glass front and back.
Twenty-four percent thinner!”
He smiles as he spoke:
“See? it wasn’t a fad.”
As he pulled from his pack,
a tiny, down-sized iPad.
He tossed it to Lloyd
The turned round to go,
His work here now done,
yet much further to go.
But I heard him exclaim
As he rode out of site,
“It’s still AT&T.”
“I can’t do everything right.”
Brad says
God bless us, every one. Except for Microsoft.
Lauren says
I am so proud of you! *sniff* That was simply beautiful! 🙂
Happy iPhone Day, everyone! Especially to Lloyd!
Beth says

I’m not a Nerd…but I am smart. I don’t know whether to be happy or sad about that???
Lloyd says
4% of people taking the quiz scored higher than me!
Peggy says
The margin of error is 4.5%, so surely that makes you the top dog, right?
(And I will call you Shirley)
Curt says
The network here at work blocked the site. So what does that mean?
Peggy says
I don’t know, that’s all it said “You’re are not a nerd, but you are smart. You may be cool.” I think 84% scored higher than me.
Lloyd says
iPhone is in hand. Brad has landed safely. All is well in the world.
Annette says
Wanna trade me for my Samsung slide? It’s a beautiful red.
Karla says
