Once upon a time
Words wore long gowns.
The sensual laps of sentences
Were well covered.
The nakedness of meaning
Was shielded and the
Private parts of the mind were
Not exposed to naked eyes.
Red Devils evoked fear
Wizards were outcasts
Gurus wore frightening beards
And the gay were very happy.
Once upon a time
Words wore long gowns.
The sensual laps of sentences
Were well covered.
The nakedness of meaning
Was shielded and the
Private parts of the mind were
Not exposed to rotten eyes.
Now words are dressed
In mini skirts.
Meaning is exposed
And the skimpy look
Offends the sensibilities of
Those who want to say
What they mean and
Mean what they say.
Now Red Devils are
Celebrated Heroes from
Manchester United.
Wizards are full of wisdom
In Washington and Gays promote the alternative lifestyle
Once upon a time
Words were well dressed.
Sentences spoke with clarity.
Verbal expression was holy
There was no hidden agenda
Now words are dressed in briefs
And abbreviations rule the world.
LOL means laugh out loud.
Bad means very good.
Devils are worshiped
Wizards make computers
Gurus no longer wear beards
And addiction is not a
Sin only a sickness.
Once upon a time
Words wore long gowns
The sensual laps of sentences
Were well covered.
The nakedness of meaning
Was shielded and the
Private parts of the mind
Were not exposed
To rotten eyes.
Now words are undressed
In briefs and wisdom in mini skirts.
