Sonnet # 13: 4 A NUB, SWAK



Don’t be afraid: I know these are changing times;
And handwritten letters are now a dying art.
But here are some helpful text messaging rhymes:
The shortcuts you need, like how to make a heart.

We’ll start first with the obvious phonetics:
C U L8R means “see you later”; that’s quite easy.
Next come the typical apologetics:
JK, IMHO, and OIC.


Some letters offer laughter, shock and empathy --
LOL, LMAO and WTF --
while others express our heartfelt thoughts of sympathy:
OMG, STBY, and BFF.

BTW: that heart’s a less-than and a 3
B4N – BCNU L8R, NUB!
