Edit Poem
Editing Instructions
Please note in the NOTES textbox below that this poem has been edited, do
not put your name, please put as the following:
<!--EDITED by moderators
on (Date) for (reasons).-->
DO NOT remove the line break (
<br /> ) html coding at the end of each line break, these are
needed to form the correct lines.
THE CHEATIf you do not wish to
delete a poem, or a certain part of a poem, and instead would like to send the
url to Mick via PM for confirmation, enclose the entire poem (or part/s thereof)
between <!-- and -->
(ie. <!-- POEM TEXT HERE
-->). This will still save the text, but will make it invisible from
viewing (other than page source view). You could also add before the
<!-- something to the effect of "This Poem under review".
Say, WHAT?
Let’s look at words about to be;
Banished to obscurity!
As new words come to take their place;
Lets make a list, delete, erase!
TAPE RECORDERS, FLOPPY DISCS,
CASSETTES and CDs made the list!
TABLETS have replaced LAPTOPS;
And IPHONES soon will be forgot!
THRICE is gone; TWICE is next;
AD or PROMO; which is best?
Though CARBON COPIES aren’t seen;
That’s what CC emails mean!
Hashtags now are all the rage;
Replacing POUND SIGNS center stage.
Coined by Google techies so;
We could let the # key go!
Cinemas are where well be;
Not to MOVIES; nosiree!
KODAK MOMENTS once enjoyed;
Are gone with FILM, like POLAROID.
We neednt REWIND like before;
Or ROLL UP windows on our cars!
And no one asks if you prefer;
SMOKING OR NON-SMOKING sir!
MODEMS, 8-TRACKS, take us back;
To PRINCESS PHONES and BOOTHS, to yak.
When MA BELL charged us just a dime;
The same price as a quick shoeshine!
So unpack your HULA HOOP;
Your POODLE SKIRT and SHOOT-THE-CHUTE!
Try to keep up DADDY-O;
Your age is showing, dontcha know!
