Default Speccie: Cautionary Tale

Here it is. And bloody tricky I have always found these. Never managed a winning Cautionary Tale. Teaches one a bit about the genius of Belloc, is you ask me. I have never learned to text at all. Fingers too fat. 'Oh Daddy! You're just not trying.'

No. 2613: Cautionary tale
You are invited to submit a cautionary tale for our times, in the style of Hilaire Belloc, about the consequences of too much time spent texting or on social networking sites (16 lines maximum). Entries to ‘Competition 2613’ by midday on 9 September or email lucy@spectator.co.uk.
