"They" said of all long emails,
"They [would] surely take their toll"
And I'd find my friends departed,
Who I thought had loved me so.
While I thought such things might happen,
It would surely not touch me,
For I thought we loved such missives,
Both to write as well as read.
I was right about the reading,
But the writing was a chore;
And for all the time I labored.....
All my friends did write no more!
Can you guess how much a bummer
Just to waste such precious time,
Trying to prove "them" all so wrong.....
Just to find out they were right?
Perhaps I love long emails,
But the folk I write do NOT;
So I've gotta cut the chatter,
OR settle for "Empty Inbox"!
