Webspeak

In conversation with a friend,
Some humor came to light.
I wanted to express myself
but found a sorry plight.

I didn’t want to use the terms
that show up every day
in correspondence that we use
To laugh the network way.

We’re writers after all, you know
and should avoid the trite.
Why can’t we make up artful terms
to give email a bite?

I challenge each and all of you
to find this elegance
and place it here your response
so that it makes some sense.

Now lol is most banal
as used to lift our hearts
and rofl’s tainted too
and ends with body parts!

Perhaps examples might assist
in showing you the way
to new and literate skills you can
show others what you say.

To Howl in Delighted Confusion
why HIDC’s the trick.
Still Shaking Head And Chuckling?
SSHAC’s your gimmick.
