Twit-Wits & Tweeter-Dumbs Today you twitter, then you tweet, as though to make your lives complete, by echoing thoughts of people you admire. Anticipating that great twitter, you clutch your phones to reconsider, the text-ed words of wisdom you desire. You twitters prattle thoughts absurd, as tweeters follow in a herd, of voyeuristic bids to be of note. You tweet and twitter photographs. You L O L, the twitting laugh, amassing twit-wits, with the rights to gloat. You Tweeter-Dumbs are text-ed astray, rushing to twitter your lives away, losing precious time you'll come to rue.

Twit-Wits & Tweeter-Dumbs

Today you twitter, then you tweet,
as though to make your lives complete,
by echoing thoughts of people you admire.

Anticipating that great twitter,
you clutch your phones to reconsider,
the text-ed words of wisdom you desire.

You twitters prattle thoughts absurd,
as tweeters follow in a herd,
of voyeuristic bids to be of note.

You tweet and twitter photographs.
You L O L, the twitting laugh,
amassing twit-wits, with the rights to gloat.

You Tweeter-Dumbs are text-ed astray,
rushing to twitter your lives away,
losing precious time you’ll come to rue.

As tweeted gems of rehashed glitter,
by willing twits, of useless twitter,
dissolve in a vast milieu, void of sinew.

Even I do. But do you realize that your post(s) about hating twitter are doing the rounds of google? (Not forgetting it was at number 1) Publicity good or bad inadvertently leads to publicity and thats what twitter needs!....How about a hate club/community or maybe a petition to get twitter off the internet? :D It’s an absolutely super great thing that you hate twitter.
