New Phone Device In Japan Functions As A Geiger Counter

This unique gizmo came about because
Phone consumers said what bedevils
Them was not having an accurate sense
Of the current radiation levels.

Responding to customers’ needs is all
Well and good but as this is presented
It seems this is probably destined to be
The most depressing app ever invented.

Apps can inform, entertain and amuse ---
Fans cheer each latest arrival
But the fun dissipates here as you ponder
Its potential role for survival.

If you need a geiger counter on a daily basis,
Using a modified smart phone can improve
Your state of mind but, c’mon, let’s get real:
Isn’t it probably time for you to move?
