A thing of the past
a cursive hand
smoothly written -
reflection demands.
To-day emails fired
quickly, lethal,
without a thought.
We - neanderthal?
Our fast connections
promptly are sent.
Convenient - yes!
Brains often absent.
However, it's nice -
to hear from old friends
in any way
this lament must end.
So poet - get off
your high horse so thin!
When was last time
you sat with a pen??

My cursive hand, alas, was bad;
It used to drive the Sisters mad!
An e-mail's clear and quick to read
Tho elegance defers to speed.
I'm very glad your friend's not dead,
Especially since he's soon to wed!
And tho he is a Beau-Mari,
I hope he still a friend will be.
Perhaps you'll come to know his bride,
And then have two friends at your side,
As happened with Irene and me,
When introduced by Mon Ami.
So send an e-mail now and then--
Forget the long-abandoned pen--
And fill me in from time to time.
It's easier than writing rhyme!
