Today’s elegy might seem somewhat gritty,
compared to yesterday’s concrete ditty.
Children reared on Sex and the City,
parents asleep, such a pity.
The video above, made to warn and convict,
vehemently dissed by iphone addicts.
Let’s please awake from our media giddy,
‘cuz I miss the days of prim and pretty.
You might critique this verse with a rhyme word not pretty,
Or even call me a prudish old bitty.
Today it was fog, elegy and metaphor. I think I included all three elements if you count the title. (And if you watched the clip, add another metaphor.)
Happy Friday.
Light & life 
Truth be told.

Indeed – the way we get involved in and consume social media is like being in a fog. But haha, you’re such a cynic 🙂

Love the slightly modern-witty take on the elegy. Awesome job!

P.S: My favourite line was the one about the children “reared on Sex and the City” when their parents were asleep. It sounds like such a sitcom moment, I’d hate (or perhaps even love) to see the aftermath of that…

Thanks for reading. The “me, too” had to do with brain loss, not metaphors… or maybe you knew that.
