They praise multi-tasking
   that's not for me
   can't be watching TV
   when I'm writing poetry.

   I'll listen well
  to what you are speaking
  will not heed my mobile's ringing
  I frown upon multi-tasking.

  It's such a daily pleasure
  sitting before the table-- eating
  the papers are full of Covid 19 news
  I desist such reading.

  Loving one's spouse is fidelity
   multi-loving is adultery
   ( no doubt, also moral bankruptcy!)
   I do hope you'll agree with me.
* after Oscar Wilde, G.K. Chesterton and  Mark Twain
