"Limited Character" by Dave Gill (C) 2013

I met her on the internet
Following Brad Paisley
She just learned 'bout the Twitter
And thought it was amazing
Emoticons were smiling
and we kept on LOL'ing
Where all of this was headed
well, there really was no telling

Days went into weeks
and our feelings grew much stronger
The short and sweet and quick replies
Started to get longer
The thoughts I tried conveying
had quickly filled the space
Until the day my message
forced a palm up to my face


I'm a man of limited character
one hundred forty keys
That's all that I can use
to let her know
how much she means
There isn't enough acronyms
To prove my heart is true
I guess I'm stuck here typing
that I less than three you too
What can I do?

I know this isn't the best way
for me to fall in love
I could have met her at a bar
or local dancing club
But I don't want her knowing
My profile isn't real
So I use abbreviations
to tell her how I feel


I'm a man of limited character
one hundred forty keys
That's all that I can use
to let her know
how much she means
There isn't enough acronyms
To prove my heart is true
I guess I'm stuck here typing
that I less than three you too
What can I do?


<br>
Now I know that some are sayin'
That what I do is wrong
But what she doesn't know
will keep the love between us strong

Good one Dave, it's amazing how many romances and "relationships" are now started over the net.
Soon we'll lose the ability to talk face to face lol.
Best of luck with it
Travis

Flows nicely so the words do move it along..

I less than three you too was lost on me.....I think it is intentional,,just a bit thick headed.

didya count them all, event with the shift and alt and "code key sequences"

Thanks, Travis! I agree with you about relationships. Who would have thought that after decades of talking about how when we're in love we're on "cloud 9" that today we configure and administer our relationships on "the cloud".

Thanks for the read and sentiment.

Peace,

Dave Gill

HA John!! Good one there.....

Yeah, I wanted to write it out because it didn't read correctly as symbols "<3", you know?

Thanks for the read and reply. I appreciate it.

Peace,

Dave Gill

Hi Dave,

This is a really cute one -- clever! (Hey -- I'm still not getting the "three" reference....)!

Lisa

Hey Lisa! Thanks for the nice reply! I appreciate that.

"less than three" refers to the written form of text characters that, when entered in the order noted, will create a horizontal "heart" shape. The "less than" sign (<) followed by the number 3 = <-- see the heart? In the text world the heart symbol equates to "love", ergo, "I less than 3 you" means "I Love you".

It's all very complicated and it took my 17 year old son to explain it to me but I get it now....

Thanks again for the reply.

Peace,

Dave

And now I just noticed that on this board when putting those two characters together, it creates a kissy face with floating hearts emoticon ! LOL!

very very clever Dave.

I think that different programs sometimes intepret symbols differnetly.

To prove my heart is true
I guess I'm stuck here typing
that I 'less than three' you too
What can I do?

God Bless Roy and Helen

Thank you, Roy! Your input is appreciated.

I finally completed this. I kinda like it. All replies are welcome.

Peace,

Dave

Have to agree with you Dave. This is very well layed out. No "nits" from the north for sure.

Really well done!

douglas

Oh, the abbreviated lives and loves we lead, she's become a Tweetheart, and we don't hit on them any more, we twit on them,
sex talk has become condensed text talk, and female conversation with a he male is now an E-mail. Face to face is always monitored somehow or other. Great write Dave.~~~MFB III

Good finished lyric Dave(if there is such a thing lol.)
Travis

Thank you, Douglas. I appreciate your feedback! Thanks for the read.

Peace,

Dave

Thank you, MFB. I appreciate your input.

Peace,

Dave

HA! You got that right, Travis! Never finished, just done with it.

Thanks for the read and the reply. I appreciate it.

Peace,

Dave
