EMOJIS SEEM TO BE ENOUGH

EMOJIS' SEEM TO BE ENOUGH Please and thank-you, Do you often hear these words, Shops, offices, even schools, Lack the use, Only nerds adopt them, what a bore, Do we need to use dictionaries Any more!!!!! Shortened versions on messages WhatsApp’s and texts Pls. And tx, or plz and thk-u, Oh wow then you really are with it, But for proper English, only Correct words shine as a jewel. And then we have hello and goodbye, How’s it, hi there, hey, hi dude, None of the above are rude, In fact, somewhat refreshing, And somehow begetting, Hello, is so ubiquitous, So totally all encompassing, So, surrounding. Chou, see ya, catch you later, Youngsters of today are present, So, awe inspiring. But it is sad to not use these Four precious words, Maybe in scrabble and crosswords, One hundred points should Be the reward, Please and thank-you, hello Or goodbyes, say them Out loud, In the company of one, Or in a crowd. On rethinking about the word goodbye Perhaps it sounds too final, So, our present generation Find it cool, To rather say, see you soon, Light and hearty like a Hot air balloon. But for each one of these words And for thousands more, There are emoji’s Which can all on their own Tell a story and so We are going back to Egyptian Hieroglyphics, which Millennium are we in And who will in The end win!!
