Today’s word is “phub” ... Slang. to ignore (a person or one’s surroundings) when in a social situation by busying oneself with a phone or other mobile device. (Dictionary.com)
Ignored
We’re all together alone,
Concentrating on our phones,
“Oh, you’re important to me!
But, there’s something I have to see!”
All this phubbing surely must end,
Or we’ll be taken around the bend,
If the electricity goes out,
We’ll follow with a whimper, not a shout.
