Definition #279 Apps

 by Jeanne Poland


by Jeanne Poland

An app is apt to flop your op before you opt or flip your lid!

You’ll flip your lid and then you’ll live
A viral splat where apps are fat

Those apps are fat with greed and whim
They push and moan and leave us thin

So thin we creak with trepidation
Apt to lose to app’s pugnation!

Choose the opt that keeps you cool
Shun the apps- search for the jewels!

A laughable smile

on scrubbed bristly beard

open to compromise

frames bated breath

for, after all,

love is blind

and all that glitters is not gold…

The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare,  gives us the words laughable, scrubbed, and compromise, and the phrases bated breath, love is blind, and all that glitters is not gold.
