Sense Sonnet - Chiller

Nanny State of Smart

Have some smart phones gotten too smart?
The Hon. Al Franken wants to know
If for the nanny state of art,
If thar's new tricks in info flow
That could be used by libs to keep
An eye and ear on those who would
Have too right secrets dark and deep,
Threatening power of lib hood.
Franken and friends want to control
The ways and means such smarts we use,
So better to attain the goal -
A nanny state we can't refuse.

As you use your phone, think this thing -
Are Franken and friends listening?
