 Mostly we're curt and less thought brings more hurt

as depth takes a backseat to impulsive tweets:

Less is more today

not in a good way

less words cause more pain

now and then again

so children's foul play

a big, ugly melee

like a comb-over toupee

in a paper cafe

causes us to delay

attempts to defray

this sad sad display

and even emails are passe

so long words can't stay

as we all obey

this short sad way

of less being more

as we give away the store

make a deal with a wrong door

and the rule is that you can't say

that someone else can't play

even if they're "cray"

so the truth gets spayed

and the truth gets betrayed

and we eat this buffet

off of a hot golden tray

we destroy the cachet

let ourselves be slayed

by our self-fueled decay

And I know it's a cliche'

but we're going to pay.
