Freddie Robinson Jr. Poet Light Verse

Turn On

Turn off the telly,
turn on the phone
Don’t trust what your eyes see,
the optics are wrong
Turn off the radio,
turn on the phone
Don’t believe what your ears hear,
the sound bytes waves are weak
not strong
The only thing that is true,
are the tweets I’m texting to you
The only thing that ain’t a lie,
is my Twitter alibi
So turn the phone on,
and get smart
Don’t get dumb,
give the telly the down turned thumb
Turn everything off,
except the phone
Let my tweets inform you
of everything that’s going on

Dale Gregory Cozart August 5, 2017 at 3:09 PM Can you imagine if we all actually did that? Anyway, I don't tweet, nor does my cell text.
