I love a limerick. This one brought to mind an alarming number of family members and acquaintances who seem to be as much in need of their phone (and thumbs) as a baby is of a pacifier. (And I, lagging behind in the last century, do not even own a cell phone....yet!)

(I'm being told by my grand kids that "calling" them is so not cool...
but it's SO HARD to text from my land line!)

Great limerick...and smile worthy!

Haha great poem commentary of texting in our age. It's definitely out of control. Drivers texting are the worse.

Good entry for the National Limerick Poetry Day contest.

Desperado texting. Lol. There are a few who honestly do go crazy with the digital contact. I have a meme friend. Sends me a minimum of 15 to 20 memes per day. Some funny but most stupid. This was a very fun limerick to read. Good luck in the contest. Gretchen

Thank you for sharing this cute limerick contest entry with us. I have heard about people with loose thumbs but have honestly never encountered one. Thank Heavens. I enjoyed reading and good luck with the contest.

A sign of the times: sending less texts than yesterday is progress:-)

I hate texting and don't think I send 70 in a year - usually just get frustrated with the person on the other end and call them.

Great Limerick - certainly relevant - and your overall presentation is "crazy" good!

Good luck in the contest.

This is a fun limerick. Your rhyme is very good and your message humorously expressed. I hope it rates very well with the judges in the contest. It does with me.

What is needed is more impulse control on the part of these obsessive text-senders, especially since many of them expect responses. Your limerick is clever and the title is perfect.
