Thumbing

I learned to type the proper way Instead of hunt and peck, Most often on a manual. (Electric was high tech.) But nowadays when texting I’m pathetic as one comes For I seem to be incapable Of writing with my thumbs. So every message I compose My pointer finger taps, The right one only, I should add – No tangled overlaps. I marvel when observing All the mainly younger folk As they thumb their words so quickly While I, turtle-like, do poke.
