Twitter, Twatter The Poem

Twitter, twatter, digital patter,
Data, words, thoughts and egos,
Moaning, rejoicing, typing and skimming.
Twitter, twatter, digital banter.

Will it fade or will it stay?
Who really reads and feeds on it?
Do I care what you ate on Tuesday?
Does anyone have anything intelligent to say?

Twitter, twatter, banal data,
broadcasting your subconscious natter.
Celebrating technology with a high-brow cringe-worthy look,
Twitter, twatter, it’s all been said before in a book.

    I do think twitter is a killer app. A perfect complement to blogging. I tweet all the time and I’m pretty sure I’m addicted :)
