Twitter And Tweeting Poem by Sandra Martyres

Twitter And Tweeting

Rating: 5.0


Being all of a twitter
I went about tweeting
And was surprised
With all that I found
Snippets of valuable and
Important information, but
I also discovered
Soon enough that the wags
Had been there too
Juicy gossip was doing
The tweeting rounds
In compressed form
The tweeters are often
Like quacking ducks
In a pond of murky water

I just wonder whether
All the non-tweeters know
What the wags
Are talking about
Tweeting can be fun
But it can be scary too
One or two line pieces on
Presidents and PMs
On Royalty and Chancellors
No one is spared by
The tweeting community
They seem to work overtime
Recording every line
And in so doing, ofcourse
They boost their chances
Of increasing their followers

Sandra, What to call them? Using tweeting for them will be discounting its sweetness. It being a fashion, I have also started tweeting. lol CP

This is a most charming and appealing poem, Sandra, and reminded me of my own poem, 'We Don't Do Twitter, ' that I wrote a couple of months ago. Of course, your fine poem was more to the point than mine was, and I enjoyed reading your fine poem very much. Love your phrasing in this fabulous write. Carl.

I'm very much behind the times with technology. I have never tweeted used a Blackberry (except to make jelly) or even text messaged. Tell me, am I really missing out, do you think? Warm Wishes, Marilyn
