Three Ts

Three R’s – are they still relevant Or do you wonder where they went They’ve been replaced it seems to me By something let’s call the three Ts Reading, writing, rithmatic Have been replaced – they didn’t stick It’s now texting, typing, tapping That has the kids all yapping Pen and paper practice – no longer being done Everything is keyboard – cursive? – There is none Soon there will be adults that practically are lame When handed pen or pencil and asked to sign their name They’ll want to use a pointer and a list from which to click For one who still likes writing – this future makes me sick Mdailey 7/10/11
