The Text Messages

By Elton Camp

To Joe, Sue bared her very soul
To win him over was her goal

She had struggled all the day
To decide what she should say

Her intense feelings aired
Great love for Joe declared

She wanted him to see
Faithful she would be

Sue clicked letter by letter
Thus, coming to feel better

The text message complete
Spelling right, spacing neat

She pressed the Send key
What would his response be?

But look what he did say
The entire reply was “K”

On another site, I got a comment I enjoyed from a person who doesn't use text messages. The person was honestly unsure if "K" meant "okay" or "kill." Elton
