We’ve got the phone, so we’re never alone
She texts in the car,
She texts at the bar.
She texts in the store,
She texts more and more!
She texts watching TV,
On the couch next to me.
"Can u eat eggs with sell-by last Wed.?"
"Do u know the Super Nanny channel off top of ur head?"
"Do u think they'll cancel school?"
"Watching Glenn Beck; this man is a tool!"
She's everywhere at Onceler,
But here, with me, her Hunceler.
I will not, will not watch her text.
"I can not, damn not! What is next?"
I say,
to which she replies,
"I'm a texter now, okay?"
Signs of times gone by fast
Watching an old NFL football game on YouTube, I saw a TV commercial trumpeting,
"You can install the Stanley Do-It-Yourself garage door opener in about four hours!"
The commercial urged viewers to write a letter to the company to get a "free booklet."
How old was the commercial, you ask?
1955?
1965?
Try 1980.
