Shelves and Selves and Selfies

Here is an introduction to my poem: Senator Cruz of Texas was using the word cogent in the news recently. People are taking pictures of themselves and calling them selfies. I combined these two items together and wrote this poem. Here goes. Around for a while we all would scout Trying to find out what is was about; When we arrived found a lot of shelves With pictures people took of themselves. Was it ludicrous what we seemed to miss? Or instead of a selfy, showed up selfless Trying to think we might be mystical Some even said we had been egotistical? Incredibly, you continue to say cogent Never knowing what it may have meant Before whole world soon came to an end Great picture of me to you intend to send. James Thomas Horn www.poetrysoup.com PS. May have to add Selfies and selfy to my dictionary.
