Text message friend

One thing that annoys me about text messaging is that, there is no emotion behind it a text message. That is why we use phrases like lol, jk, and lmao. I also hate it when I try to call someone, and they wont pick up, but they will send you a text message immediately afterwards.

Anybody can misinterpret a text message, and its hard to tell if people are joking. I’m old fashioned. I like to call people. But, I feel in today’s society it is frowned down upon to call instead of text. I decided to write a poem about the concept of text messaging. This one is called TEXT MESSAGE FRIEND

It’s only a text message that you will send
Because of this, I only see you, as a text message friend

If I see you at a party, you hand I will shake
But it won’t be future plans, that ill try to make

We not good enough friends to give each other a call
But you might be good enough to write on your Facebook wall

I see you on the street; I might say what’s up!
But if you see me calling, I know you won’t pick up

I’ll get a test from you saying, “text me I’m busy”
If I test and drive, I know ill get all dizzy

I’ll try to call you, because I don’t text and drive
You send a text back, saying you’re busy at the time

Come on I know you’re only playing Call of duty 4
We will only be text message friends
And we won’t be anything more.
