Twas The Night Before iPhone
Published by Tech Spoofs | Filed under News
Twas the night before launch day, when all through Cali.
Not a creature was stirring, in the entire Valley.
The press releases were sent to the media with care,
In hopes that the punters and paparazzi would all be there;
Steve Jobs was nestled all snug in his bed.
With visions of acquisitions dancing in his head.
And Woz in the kitchen, and I in the sack,
Had just settled down for a pre-launch day nap.
It had a broad face, and neat rounded corners,
That shook when it rang like an executive at Time Warner.
It was sleek and quite bright, a right jolly phone,
And I cried when I saw it because I could not take it home;
A wink of its screen and a touch of a finger,
Soon gave me to know that I should not linger;
I spoke not a word, but went straight to the office,
And opened the package that Steve had just brought us;
It sprang from the package, and I looked on in fright.
At the features: An iPod! a Phone! a Headlight?
But I stopped then and looked and just as I feared,
This was no phone at all, it could only be used with Cingular…
[iPhone should be hitting the shelf on June 29th, be ready to be kind of, marginally impressed]
