Twit Wits And Tweeter Dumbs

Today you twitter, then you tweet,
as though to make your lives complete,
by echoing thoughts of people you admire.

Anticipating that great twitter,
you clutch your phones to reconsider,
the text-ed words of wisdom you desire.

You twitters prattle thoughts absurd,
as tweeters follow in a herd,
of voyeuristic bids to be of note.

You tweet and twitter photographs.
You L O L, the twitting laugh,
amassing twit-wits, with the rights to gloat.

You Tweeter-Dumbs are text-ed astray,
rushing to twitter your lives away,
losing precious time you’ll come to rue.

As tweeted gems of rehashed glitter,
by willing twits, of useless twitter,
dissolve in a vast milieu, void of sinew.

You got that right. In one of my weak moments I joined Twitter, but that's about it, I joined. I don't see the Twitter phenomena.

well stated indeed!

I'm especially fond of:

"Tweeter-Dumbs are text-ed astray,
  rushing to twitter your lives away"

Other than on this 'poetry board' ... I for one choose to leave no 'internet footprints!'
