Title: Propa English?
by Robyn from Lancashire | in writing, poetry
I will never acknowledge- in fact I refuse
This new language that the young seem to use
The 'text' revolution has infested our speech
Draining its beauty like a sordid leech
If Shakespeare knew he would turn in his grave
If only our English language he could save!
Wordsworth, Abbot, Shelly too
Would weep in despair (if only they knew)
My friends say it's quicker, easier to apply
Than the 'boring' English dialect that they need 2 get by
But I am different, I utterly refuse
This new language that the young seem to use
Does the culture of r tongue mean nothing @ all?
The education of the young iz beginin to fall
But y should I b like ma mates?
Using txt 2 look kwl an get dates?
Itz so eezy 2 b drawn 2 this new uprising
I guess itz regard isun suprisin
I guess dat itz nt dat bad
If I dnt use txt, society wud go md?
Lol.
Just thought of it in a dream one night!
