Word-o-Magic
=========
In this 2013 of gizmos who cares to read !!
The written/typed words are like overgrown weed
Hanging out at malls and multiplexes
Shine and glitter beckons "Come hither"
The humble typewriter the ink-udders wither
Thousands of pixels-coloured graphics and words
On the latest tablet tires the teens ogling eyes
They prefer the Facebook brimming umpteen lies
Naught are the abandoned writers of past and now
Who cares for the music of the warbling brook !!
Described with words in the abandoned poetry book
Painting with words, singing with words so fragrant
Linger in my not only the eyes and years
Youth of Gen-Y finger a qwerty rev up the gears.
