Why I Sleep With a Dictionary

When she asked me why I slept with a dictionary under my pillow,

I asked my girlfriend what she would do

if dictionaries didn’t exist and she told me

 

“Baby, that’s why we’ve got Google”

 

but sweetheart, I said

Google can't help me

on a deserted island

with no wi-fi or phone charger

when I’m trying to ask airline passengers

as they fly overhead to 

rescue me

using only rocks

and palm leaves.
