Notes About The Poem

All students going through school are instructed on how to phrase their thoughts with traditionally correct grammar. However, it seems more and more, students talk and communicate with their own invented grammar all together. This poem attempts to cross over that communication divide.

Sort of a Kinda Vague Language of Ours

I kinda, sorta want to talk about people who are vague.
It’s kinda really important to be clear about what you have to say.
To ramble and sorta kinda talk all hazy will never sound o.k..
It’s better to talk in black and white than a puffy sorta grey.

I guess what I’m tryin’ to say is, it’s important to be clear
About what you’re tryin’ to say, and what you want people to hear.
To LOL someone or say DBD then tell them BRB
Is kinda sorta really crap when you could be more, like, wordie.

The Oxford has heaps of words, bucket loads have heaps of meaning
And to sort of replace them just with letters is kinda sorta demeaning.
Dumping on kids from spelling bees that had to study their grammar,
They got replaced by kids tryin’ to talk kinda like a poetry slammer.

So next time you’re sort of having a chat with another kinda person,
Use words not letters and speak kinda clear, kinda like you’re rehearsin’.
Because the letters sorta have heaps of meanings kinda like a heap of phrases,
It’s better, I reckon, to use real words, and it helps fill up the pages.

HAHA!! (notice I didn't lol!!) ;p This was cute and so true. I bet the kids today can win the spelling bees using all the 'shortcut lingo' on the web. Seems unfair to all of us, huh!
