How to say Hello and Good Morning.

I wanted to say hello this morning through the usual text messaging. But instead of sending the worn out, poorly abbreviated, good morning. I opted to send a message in a somewhat different format. I composed a limerick like bit of prose (I dare not call it poetry) in order to come up with an original and at least different way of saying hello and good morning. With the constraints inherent with sms messaging it was not that easy. The whole day went by with out even a reply. I can only come to a simple conclusion that the recipient of my text message thought it was just another forwarded message. The same thing happened last Christmas and New Year when a couple of my friends thought that the message I composed and sent was just a forwarded message.

A forwarded message is often a nuisance. I mean we all get tired of those jokes, greetings, and stuff. We also feel no need to reply to forwarded messages because we think that these are not as sincere as something crafted by the sender. Thus my message this morning went unappreciated. Maybe it was my fault. Maybe I should have made it simple and not exerted effort, nor exercised creativity. But there are days when I really just feel like being a bit poetic and I get the urge to use rhymes of old.

Oh well, that’s how things work.
