Of letters and digits
That is the WhatsApp mode
As more and more
This new language unfolds.
Trunc8 & abbrevi8
An obvious highlight
As social media practitioners
Assert their rights.
The right to communic8
In a far more concise way
And still get the point across
In whatever they say.
U’ll want me, no doubt,
2B more specific
I will try 2B
Just U hold 4 a bit.
Unlike the young people
I may B a little L8
But not 2 L8
So, this is still Gr8.
B 4 U continue reading
I hope U R aware
At 1st this could be 2 difficult
& B a gr8 bug-bearer.
The patient felt G8 2 know
The tumour was B9,
Better 2B B9 than 2B 2L8
So a G8 result that time!
B4 U celebr8
Know this could B U
So, do not B 2L8
Go 4 a check-up 2.
U R welcome 2 do so
At the earliest D8,
If U could do so now
That would B gr8.
U need 2 know Ur st8
B4 2L8 is Ur F8,
U may B feeling G8
But U may still B 2 L8.
Thnx 4 Ur time,
Have a Gr8 day!
B blessed & B safe
I must B on my way.
