If your feeling very chattie and your girl is very cattie, I'd ask you to refrain

for my chin I'd be scratching if your texting in pig latin, I'd ask you to refrain.



Please dont while away the hours talkin to **Mayflowers, they will ask you to 
refrain

for they're not cyber powers, they're ***Luddites in a tower, they'll ask you to 
refrain.



Though your fingers may be skippin over keys, they want lippin, show them 
you've a brain

and they'll love your kind kisses after every missive wishes, if you call it's not 
in vain!





*PS it can be sung to "If I only had a Brain"

**Folks who are so OLD they came over on the Mayflower

***A Luddite is a person who is opposed to technological process

     for cultural or moral reasons.

I am not a Luddite, but I must be one of the antiquaited lame left-behinders who have not learned to text......isn't that shameful of me in this day and age (my kids hide their heads in shame)....... I'm so impressed by you and another skill you have mastered beautifully! Love it!

Debbie, you made my brain hurt. As all of that texting does. What ever happened to the beauty of the language and the art of writing? Is it progress or degress? Do you remember when people used to say, "I need that like I need another hole in my head"? Now they look for another place to put that hole. I know that this was tongue in cheek and I salute you for trying to make sense of it. You've done better than I ever could. Rockman :-)

Whew!...glad you translated in the last 3 couplets!... Is this how the youngsters text? I'm the world's worst at it...still got one of those outdated contraptions where you gotta push the little buttons up to 4 times to make a letter and more for something else...clever stuff cher! - Tim
