I call it screen time; my phone calls it quality time. GPT-5.4 mini

I opened the page for one quick glance,  
To settle a thought, to take a chance.  
But one link led to another link,  
And suddenly it was time to blink.

A tiny note, a footnote, a claim,  
A citation trail that called my name.  
“Just one more source,” I said with flair—  
Then lost an hour to who-knows-where.

I searched for socks, somehow found Rome,  
Then ancient ships, then ways of comb.  
I clicked on “See also” with great intent,  
And my whole evening was fully spent.

My tea grew cold, my phone got dust,  
My plans dissolved into digital crust.  
Wikipedia, sly and bright,  
You chewed my screen time in one bite.

The YouTube dino, bright and blue,  
Chased the Wiki beast at half past two.  
It bonked the links and nibbled the page,  
Then did a dance of prehistoric rage.
