Bad Texter

(the so-called "texted" poem is below the translated one shown here on top. btw, not for the contest. I messed up & didn't know there was a line limit. did I even come close with my texted version?) I never had texted, so I had to go in search of the many things that I don’t know. I know n means “in,” b means “be,” c means “see.” Y is for “why”; those are all easy. For other words, though, I see no explanation Except the advice: use your imagination. I found some expressions like prolly(probably) a pity! Teens like to use “no parents” (np). Oh, really? Bring your own beer (BYOB) is one that I knew. Others not hard are tonight(2nite) and me too (me2). Sh$# happens (sh) - a good one! And there are others, Boyfriend (bf) and girlfriend (gf); significant other (so). By now even I know (lmao)“laughing my ass off” But “hang on” (ho) was new to me. Ok- don’t scoff! I already knew about (h-bday) happy birthday But somehow I didn’t remember (nw) “no way.” For your information (fyi) & sucks (sux) - nothing new. Surprisingly I didn’t know (ilu) “I love you” For equestrian texting there’s even a site For things like “hay in my bra” (himb) yeah right! I guess a pimp daddy can say (wtm) “who the man,” But be careful if you see (gnac) “get nailed on cam.” There’s symbols for bored and yawning and sad. I only like zzzz (sleeping); can’t find one for bad! How do I string these expressions together? With lots of bad grammar and spelling? Whatever! How strange is a culture that finds texting cool And I must unlearn what they taught me in school. i nevr had texted, so i had 2 go iso the many things that idk i know n means “in,” b means “be,“ c means “see.“ Y is 4 “why”; those r all ezy 4 othr wrds, tho, I c no explanashun except the advice: uz ur imaginashun!
