What is it that might lead one
to write...LOL
What is it that may lead one
to write...IDK
What is it with three simple letters
to prove a true emotion
I may not be fan
but
what could it be
to lead a person to say
LOL, IDK, ROFL?
Please call me old fashion
but these...things
are not words I say
Just look it up
and hide your dismay
to the fact of ignorance
has taken over my day

The author's comments:
I was on a rampage about LOL, because I really dislike the use of that damn thing. So I wrote this. And it has become a pattern of mine that all of my poetry is either completely idiotic or rather strange. I would go with the first on this one.
