Chitchat

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 quietly shuts down on the 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 little and tiniest crumbs.

These chats on my what’s app keep me sane, 

And help to rein in the doubts and the loneliness pain.

Chatting with the family and staying in touch,

In foreign lands, is a drowning man’s crutch.

The day starts bright, happy and cheerful,

When the phone pings on the nightstand announcing another morsel joyful.
