I’ve got lots of friends inside this phone.
I send them selfies with my goggles.
I have ten thousand photos here.
In an hour I can show the right one.
Look! This shows me what the stars are called,
If I could see the stars from here.
This tells me if I’m hot or cold,
Suggesting clothes from my own closet.
I had to show it every single one.
With new ones I just scan the tag,
But I don’t need a lot of clothes.
Most everything I get delivered.
