See the pretty bauble

"Now, someone has found one more way to keep family members occupied and away from what matters most—it is something called Pokémon Go.  I don’t understand this one so don’t ask me about it.  I just know it is one more thing that prompts young people to look down at their smart phones rather than looking up to see the beautiful creations of God’s wonderful world or even someone they may want to meet, date, and marry with whom they could have a real-world relationship that results in eternal blessings."


See the pretty bauble, child; come play with it awhile.

It will make you happy as your standards I beguile.

I have many kickshaws that will nibble at your days,

isolate you from your friends and beneficial ways.

Games and tinseled vanity I offer in profusion;

am I to blame if all it does is lead you to confusion?

There's hardly anyone who doesn't fall for my ripe schemes,

and when they do I take from them their comfort and their dreams.

Whether it be Pokemon or other sly diversion,

I delight to take you on a meaningless excursion!
