CHITTER-CHATTER
We in the family so love to chitchat,
That we have named the family group just that!
Scattered across the globe as we are,
Spicy bits are exchanged at a time most bizarre.
The phone is abuzz with news from distant lands,
Till it shuts down wearily on the inviting night stand.
With the family ranging from the senile to the young,
Our chats entertain us from gouts to those love stung.
Staying far away from my loved ones,
I devour any wee bit and even the tiniest crumbs.
These messages on my family chat keep me sane,
And help to rein in any doubts and the loneliness pain.
Chatting with the parents and siblings and staying in touch,
In foreign lands, believe you me,is drowning man’s crutch.
The day starts bright, happy and cheerful,
When the phone pings near you announcing another morsel joyful.
