Year of the Selfie

photobomb yourself
and to Twerk better
try it in your Anklingtons
to look fully sick
Do not spend Bitcoins
on domestic help or staff
leave clothes on Floordrobe
beware that if you

Fugitive Fragments 
I was shaking my head and chuckling like a grandmother in amused contempt for this generation…and realized I actually qualify as belonging to said generation. >_<
Did you ever see that Time Magazine cover story in May 2013? The "The Me Me Me Generation: Millennials are are lazy, entitled narcissists…Why they'll save us all" article. It caused quite a stir. 😀
I know of the TIME article but have always maintained an optimism about the current generation. I think they will form a world better than their anteceding kin. Though the language grates, English continues to evolve as it has over time (I just wish it would slow down a bit!)
I want to be optimistic too. 🙂
enjoyed this. and learnt a lot of new words, inclucing Twerk and floordrobe..Wish you a belated Happy New year. Hope this year has started well for you
Love it! Happy New Year Mike. I hope 2014 is off to a good start!
Thanks C, and I think it’s going to be a brilliant year for bloggers (we’re such nice people 🙂
Yes, yes we are, aren’t we?
A real winner! Most enjoyable.
Thank you for your appraisal and encouraging response.
Glad you enjoyed this piece and thank you for saying so.
After repeatedly consulting the urban dictionary I can confirm that this is a highly amusing New Year treat. 😃
Relief at last – I’ve been holding my breath for two days!!
Very clever and well-done, Mike! Happy New Year!
I thank you kindly; ’twas a bit o’ fun.
Thank you for the smiles and the wonderful poetry in 2013.. looking forward to even more next year. xo
Poets choose their words judiciously so your comment is especially warming to my ear on this first day of a new year. You have a kind heart and a latent talent Phoebe.
The mind boggles…before shattering into smithereens and falling out our ears. Happy new year, Mike! To a wordsmithing wonderful 2014!
Good Lord, I wish you a speedy recovery and shall attempt to moderate future posts to you sensitivities (; Go raibh maith agat Jackie agus Athbhliain faoi mhaise duit.
Ahhh, now that’s better. Feeling quite myself again… 😉
This put a smile on my face! Happy New Year, Mike!
Right back at ya H and your amusement is gratifying – thank you.
Happy New Year my Friend 🙂
Many happy returns Roxi.
a brilliant play on modern parlance 🙂
Imagine if you were a foreigner learning English today? My respect for people who speak it as a second language grows daily. Thanks for your kind words ELG.
ye i can appreciate our language must be one of the hardest to learn, what with its varied history of cultures and eras and influences.
i’ve worked with many people from Africa, Poland and elsewhere, and admire the speed of their learning this.
Bout sums it up 🙂
Thanks Claudie, an ‘selfie’ is aussie, eh? I’d better get to work on next year’s winner…
