Sad But True Poem by Renee Maritz

Children of today!
Where are you on your way?
Texting through the day and not a word to say...
Fingers tapping and eyes set. What's next?
Just time for the next text
No time to text mom
No time to text dad
It's so sad! can't chat and that's that.

I have time to chat with my friend Chad, I'm so glad.
Time is running by
I must say goodbye!
oh! sorry mom, why so sad?
Sorry dad, don't be mad!
I forgot to chat and that's that.
