L O L

When texting was just starting out, my friend texted LOL to me.
Little ornery lunatic?
Lovely ordinary laugh?
Luxuriously outstanding lady?
Lobe-oriented log-splitter?
Land over Lithuania?

Lime Orange Lion-berries?
I texted back “what is LOL?”
But she had shut her phone off
For the night.

I texted three more friends,
But their phones had also
Been shut off.

This was before people started
carrying their cellphones all
day long, looking at them 
constantly you see.

LOL

Rhona Mcferran Date: 11/30/2018 6:21:00 PM I remember my utter confusion over that one, too! If I had thought of "Little ornery lunatic", I'm sure I would've assumed that's what my friend meant! Hahahahaha! ;D Fun poem! Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 11/30/2018 11:25:00 PM You did notice it was my first thought also, right Rhona?

Chris Green Date: 11/30/2018 11:29:00 AM "Lobe-oriented log-splitter" that one really got me laughing. This was fun Caren and there are still some that I get that I have no idea what they mean and I am to embarrassed to ask. :) Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 11/30/2018 3:15:00 PM I am so confused by the new language, I am left in the dust in many ways, where I am okay being actually.

Kim Rodrigues Date: 11/30/2018 7:24:00 AM Love this write! And then there was ROFL. When I went to my cousin’s wedding shortly after the cellphone revolution, I laughed as I saw several outside on their cell phones. And now my parents stare at theirs! :0 Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 11/30/2018 3:16:00 PM This is a phenomenon that pretty much yells "You might as well join them" no one is talking to anyone else anymore anyway.

Beata Agustin Date: 11/30/2018 6:31:00 AM "Laughter" they say is the "best medicine..." Thanks for sharing LOL's varied meanings. God bless you! Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 11/30/2018 6:56:00 AM Thank you Beata. I still see so many acronyms the teenagers use that I do not know. I think they have one that means parents in the room - PIR? and Parental Units Listening -PUL?
