I thought to write within this post
To illuminate what worries most;
This frankly quite disturbing trend
That echoes clear of Language's End.
Of l33t I speak, and smilies too
With phrases that all end in 'U.'
Of TXTs and OICs
And owls asking ORLY?
With shorthand now an ancient art
For 'I <3 U' now melts a heart
Is it fair to clearly say
That English true has had its day?
Alas, I fear my well-voiced fears
Shall fall upon quite deafened ears
For try as I might, I couldn't type

Thankye, hun!
