Decisions, Decisions

Mary Ellen Tornquist-Jones

was shopping for a phone,

but then she heard, in muted tones,

another shopper moan,

"I just don't know if it's secure.

Is this mic always on?

Is there some way I can ensure

it's not some kind of con?"

So, Mary took those words to heart,

thinking it too eerie.

Decided it was not so smart:

Better safe than Siri.
