    The Ode of The Moderately Competent Twitter Activist

    The document is a poem describing the morning routine of a moderately-competent Twitter activist. It summarizes their morning as starting with checking various social media and news sites while drinking coffee. They see an interesting news story and think they can influence the online discussion by tweeting about it repeatedly in 140 characters or less after trimming words. They feel accomplished for the amount done before sunrise but are surprised at how quickly the time passed and the kids are now waking up.
