Facebook's not a journal,
Twitter's not a place,
That's the massive problem
With the current human race.
Your mood is not a hashtag,
'Selfie' is spelled with an S,
We're really all addicted,
Which we know, but won't confess.
Our kids will play computers,
They'll be Apple's biggest fans,
But what about the authors,
Who wrote things with their hands?
Dickens, Wilde and Hawthorne,
I'm sure would bear a frown,
For PAPER was the only way,
They wrote their stories down.
