Snail Mail

Oh, how I remember the old snail mail
Reading in the microscopic detail
From the one rightful owner of the tale
Now,instant messaging, the holy grail
Spreads half cooked word instantly without fail
Distorting it immensely in its trail
Announcements and news burst in with the gale
I prefer authentic, even if stale
