They’ll Have Arthritis in Their Thumbs When They’re Older

They’ll Have Arthritis in Their Thumbs When They’re Older
 
You see these teenagers in the street
Tap tap tapping on their phones
Alerting friends:  Here I am.
This is what I’m doing.
 
Posting on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter,
There’s so much that they like.
Sending messages, clicking links
Posting selfies and other pics.
 
This is today a young person’s world
One in which many are immersed
There are unintended consequences:
It’s good to have everything at one’s fingertips:
 
But I reckon they’ll have arthritis in their thumbs when they’re older.
