First a short text
Quickly followed by another
Then a text with an X
What does it mean?
Girlfriends say it’s just
“Bye” to a friend
We all do it
No need to get excited.
But the men say different
The X is significant
It means something else
It wants an X back.
So I send one.
Clever poem. I'm still trying to figure out all the texting abbreviations. Amazing how a single letter can mean a world of difference. Nice One Shot!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard enough to figure out the difference between men and women and person, but now I have to figure it out in texting also?
ReplyDeleteVery cute.

haha...careful...too much x-ing causes trouble...lol. nice one shot...
ReplyDeleteHi Libby...still so grateful! Loved this poem. Well I thought those x's were European kisses. When I was a child we signed xoxo at the bottom of our letters. My mother said that it stood for kisses and hugs. When we wrote notes to boys in study hall (sigh..so long ago) we sometimes put xoxoxo at the bottom. I thought as you're British you were only sending kisses; no hugs.
ReplyDeleteCute and clever poem. Your work is always so fresh and clean. It's the way I see you in my mind..all fresh and full of hugs and kisses. Gay @beachanny
