I love my iPad

Your ten inches tall and eight inches wide
Your the ultimate companion, that I keep by my side
Android type clones can't call themselves rivals
Your a font of all knowledge, a modern day bible

I hold you in the mornings, I grip not caress
I tap, touch and wipe, do a four finger press
You glow in the darkness, you light up the room
I flick to delete and reverse pinch to use zoom

Your apps are so numerous your uses unbound
For jotting down thoughts or experiments with sound
I record audio notes with ideas stored as logs
I write musings and thoughts in my journals and blogs

I watch 'how to' videos for tips and advice
My YouTube education is streamed with no price
I subscribe to service and for thirty six pound
I watch all premiership football, clear picture and sound

I read news of the day without buying the paper
Delve deep into areas with no library caper
It's a business directory with addresses galore
With maps and GPS I get steered to the door

I model and I scribble, I sketch and I draw
I crop photos and fix red eye, rotate and then store
I'm constantly loaded with snaps of my kids
No need for large albums, with my 64 gigs

I keep thousands of tunes, no more vinyl to store
And with iTunes to hand there's millions more
Podcasts for comedy or for sharpening the brain
Provide in ear entertainment, when sat on the train

Mailbox, diary, notepad and clock
Radio, TV, limitless shop
Tour guide, dictionary, magazine, Map
synth, sampler, sequencer all in an app

Board and dice games, quizzes for fun
Simulators, shoot em ups or card games for one
From buying a house or reading a book
Wittering in twitter, or updating Facebook

My iPads ever present, as a skilled one man band
Will probably be accountable for an arthritic hand
Like rats it's never more than ten feet away
Sleeps next to me at night, and is well used in the day

It's value for money like nothing else I own
I would have got one sooner, if only I'd known
If your thinking of buying, I'd advise that you do
My only regret, is not having two

This marriage I should say, has lasted 32 weeks
So I still clean her screen, and load her with treats
I still take her out and show her my mates
Or spend nights together on one to one dates

We'll see how things go a few years down the line
When the batteries run flat, screen tarnished with time
The back no longer shines, the case is all shabby
Its filled up with junk, the apps have gone flabby

When she no longer amuses and begins to bore
It'll be time for a trade up from the apple store
