We're all on a road to somewhere.
🎶 “Electronic Emoji
is gonna be a sudden craze
Electronic Emoji
is bound to be the very next phase
They call me Mellow Yellow
But quite rightly
my Muppet enemies
they all call me the Yellow Peril
So watch out Elmo!” 🎶
~ Donomojo
(The Ballad of Mr. Smiley Face)
“Ask not what good can one Emoji do.
Ask what can one good Emoji not do?”
~ President Jo King Emoji 😁
Looking for hidden treasure
in the doing of serious leisure
at the most exotic Coco Mojo bar
As that coral sea
just keeps glistening
in the tropical sun
I’m ordering yet another
mango mojito
whilst listening to Mojo JuJu
singing that native tongue
Junk in school
Junk on the street
Junk is lurking
every place
that people meet
There’s nowhere safe
Can you stand the heat?
Best be cool
and fast on your feet
Junk that cheats
and is hard to beat
“The moving finger, having pressed
the SEND button, moves on.”
~ The Sacred e-Book of Emo Jo
Ever since inception, Mr. Smiley Face
has felt the hand of destiny upon him.
But … he’s an Emoji in a big hurry.
And the hand of the Operator
moved across the Keyboard …
from the shallow mellow yellow
of the deepest ink cartridge void
to manifest in a once vacant place
the countenance of Mr. Smiley Face
