Just Call Me "Dino"

I'm not much of an abbreviator

LOL is just not me

Don't care too much for "twitter"

Maybe it's just my "nerd-ity"

Who reads this silly blog of mine

I don't even know

What's the point of all of this

What happened to "hello"?

When friends were "real"

And didn't end in "book"

That's where I want to be

Real faces,

Real voices

Real talking

Over ordinary tea.

Texting, email, instant chat

Blue tooth, i-phone, who really needs that?

A letter in the mailbox, homemade calls,

No cell phone ringing in bathroom stalls.

That's just me. Not a popular view,

But funny, I'm still happy

Without all the "whoop-de-doo"!

If that makes me a "dinosaur"

In your screen-reflecting eyes,

That's a title I can handle

And one that satisfies.
