Translation:
At last catching on to my cell phone was a relief.
Then texting came onto the scene and brought me new grief.
I couldn’t even learn shorthand when I was in school.
Texting is too much like that, so I’ll stay “un-cool!”
I’ve gotten through a lifetime without using it.
And wouldn’t you know it, no symbol for the rhyme sh-t
