Poems
May 2017
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.
