Before there were cell phones,
there was you,
but you never called.
Before there was color,
there was black and white,
but you were a monotone of gray.
Before Samson knew Delilah,
there was strength,
but I told you all my secrets.
While the seven dwarfs fussed as you slept,
the prince came kissing,
but it wasn't me.
Once the poet wrote your poem
to offer to the world,
but you too rejected it.
