Twits or Tweets
(A Roger’s Rant)
Poor poets of today
sweet birds reduced
one hundred and forty letters
the song you tweet
oh twitter away your tune
your readers will not swoon
over anything longer
than the shortest rune
and if go on you must
the tv commercial calls
thirty seconds to adjust
words for everyone’s lust
sound bytes bark louder
than sonnets now beware
the dog byte of radio
and tv making a mockery
of all you once held good
no film rights for a sonnet
no actors no models
on the cat walk no talk
of moneyed contracts
honeyed words that brook
no contacts with either
upper or lower class
none of whom today
would stoop to make a pass
at passing poets
or offer to kiss their arse
Only tweets are music of life , roger.one again a funny post.
