Centuries, Divided
When the Past Meets the Present
U wot m8?
U don’t talk proper.
I most c'rtainly doth!
P'rhaps t is thee.
Wot u tryin say?
That I talk wrung?
I am not implying,
I knoweth!
U sayin I’m stupid or sumthin?
Ugh! Slimy mooncalf!
U mad, no cap!
I am sick when I do look on thee.
U make me sick 2 m8.
I’m m're sophisticat'd,
Thou Speak in tongues.
Dunno wot u say,
But I talk write.
Concur to disagreeth,
Living centuries apart.
U can’t change my mind m8,
Liketh thee with I.
