Upping The Emoji Game
Get by with a little help from my friends
Here's the thing with friends
If you pay attention
the learning never ends.
Being a Boomer
I've got room for
major escalation in my emoji game
To my fumble fingered shame.
Enter Mike Singleton
who shared knowledge- just for fun
That opens a new world for me.
Now, using the laptop
My emoji game is in one stop
Putting new life into my work.
No need for the dashes
the ellipses and slashes
the dots and the blots
Now I can use emoji to give space in my work.
(See?! Those little hand writing! See?!)
And with a double click add doubtfully relevant Gifs.
Thanks Mike!

Follow Mike for lots of reasons, too!
And, in the styling of Mike: here's a version of the song I enjoy.

Hall of mirrors
Things used to matter, before all the noise. And at that time when things still had meaning, there had been dreaming too, when dreams still mattered. And the brightest dream from those times was full of mountains and seas and smiles and the types of passion that absorbs you the way a dog is absorbed by witnessing something for the first time: with absolute presence, and awe.

Hahahahaha this was a fun poem! Mike is always so helpful!
I still haven't gotten much into emojis, but my wife loves them. It's her favorite thing about texting.
This was such a fun read. One can never stop learning, as they say!
If I had an emoji, I'd send a heart
Such a fun piece. And isn't Mike a great help? Now, I'll have Crocker in my head all day, could be worse. Thanks for sharing this.
Fabulously fun!!!💕❤️❤️
Thanks for the shoutout and it is handy to be able to use emojis from you windows keyboard 👍❤👍💙👍😊
Haha. This is great. I saw that post from Mike and was like, oh yeah. Game changer. 🤣
I do enjoy when you just get playful with words, Judey! This is another pleasant little ditty and nice nod to Mr Singleton. The end image is great and I shall listen to Mr Cocker later. What a voice.
