CIPHERTEXT
There is a guy named Dexter
Who is a nonstop texter.
While taking a fitness walk,
He typed to his girl e-talk.
A fall at the corner curb
All his texting did disturb—
Scrambled, the text perplexed her.

A FRESH OUTLOOK
The brand-new engineer claimed to his boss,
“My idea—it will reverse our loss.
We’ll build cars able to communicate
With each other; that is sure to be great.”
The boss shook his head and said with due scorn,
“It’s been done already; it’s called a horn!”

L-O-L
At the grand age of eighty,
She was not of the texting crowd.
Surprised, asked the shocked Sadie,
“What! LOL means Laugh Out Loud;
It’s not Little Old Lady?”

EVOLUTION: NOW HEAR THIS
Psychics predict by a not too distant year—
Babes will be born with a cell phone on one ear.
