Summary
A young girl from Haggerston loses her phone to a bike thief while engrossed in conversation, serving as a cautionary tale against using phones outdoors.
Abstract
The narrative centers around a limerick that recounts the misfortune of a girl from Haggerston who was preoccupied with her iPhone in an outdoor setting. A sudden theft by a bike thief leaves her without her device, breaking her routine of constant mobile use. This incident underscores the risks associated with being distracted by technology in public spaces. The limerick is part of a larger work titled "Resilience is Our Friend," which encourages readers to nurture their resilience. The author, Marla Bishop, shares her personal life in London with her family, pet dog, and fish, and invites readers to follow her on Twitter.
