Sense Sonnet - Chiller

Cell Hell

For years, both my husband and I
Had cell phones with us constantly,
Always with a power supply,
So never out of touch we'd be.
When I got pregnant, no one said
Anything about cell phone use.
I'm sure I used it more instead,
For any baby talk excuse.
Then came the time to have the birth.
Afterwards, they were all talking
Of radiation. What on Earth
Had caused such a terrible thing?

'Cause a cell phone leaves a birthmark.
'Cause my baby glows in the dark.
