Cursive

They aren’t teaching Cursive writing
In the schools today.
If students want to print their notes,
It seems to be okay.

I find this rather shocking,
Since we had it drilled in school;
But it’s no longer needed
As computers seem to rule.

The funny thing’s that many students
Cannot read in script.
Without that Cursive practice,
They’re not really well-equipped.

“It looks like Hieroglyphics!”
One such pupil did explain.
Though she struggled to decipher it,
Her efforts were in vain.

So older-generation folk,
You want to be subversive?
Write a daring message –
Just be sure that it’s in cursive!
