About the Author

CUPCAKE

A tasty Cupcake
First dawn, sweet and delicious
Need another bite,

MEMORY

SD card, micro
Ain't no full size or mini
Expanding storage,

UNINSTALLING

Let me remove it
Don't give me no survey, bro
Just get rid of it,

2008

Don't call it a Dream
H-T-C T-MO G-1
In the world alone,

DONUT

Deep fried my dunkers
Hot Joe, make mine maple glazed
Think I have a call,

CONFINED

Running low on space
Can't download any new apps
Card slot is useless,

TALKATIVE ROBOT

Slick new marketplace
Turn-by-turn navigation
Turn text into speech,

ECLAIR

Chocolate covered
Creamy smooth and drizzled white
Hot from the oven,

MECHANICAL MONOCLE

Paparazzi cheer
Flash support, digital zoom
Macro white balance,

BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN
