Once upon a time, not long ago,
There was a world that moved so slow,
But then an invention came along,
That changed the game with an instant song.

A message could be sent so fast,
From one end of the world to the last,
It traveled through the air and sea,
With a signal strong and clear to be.

This amazing thing that we call tech,
Was developed by some clever spec,
It took a language all its own,
To make the world a smaller zone.

Now we can talk and laugh and share,
With anyone, anywhere, anytime, anywhere,
We have the power at our fingertips,
To connect and grow and build friendships.

So remember, kids, the power of tech,
And use it wisely with respect,
For the world is yours to explore,
And with instant messaging, you can do so much more.
