Time To Text.

Goldfinch60



In life we get older,

We can do nothing about it.

In my younger days

The evenings were wonderful,

Being out with friends

For many hours

Enjoying drinking and dancing.

As I got older life changed

And I settled down

Into a wonderful married life.

Time changed again

And mobile ‘phones ruled,

Ruled out lives.

But now I have reached that age,

That age if you text me,

Text me at ten fifteen,

Ten fifteen in the evening

I will text you back,

Text you back at five fifteen,

Five fifteen in the morning.

    You made me smile. I think many of us have now been drawn in to texting. Moving with the times. I enjoyed your music and your poem Andy. Love jazz too. Have a lovely Thursday.

        I know what you mean. If I get a text after ten, I'll be replying first thing the next morning before I take the dog out. šŸ™‚

        • Goldfinch60

          That's the way Tom, I wouldn't hear a text after ten as I am in bed and the 'phone is downstairs, but I am always up at six in the morning so I would answer them then.
