Notes

By Stephanie Sideways

Necessary scribblings done by every humaN
Only species that has the compulsive need tO
Transcribe reminders so we are less likely to forgeT .
Endless tree killing paper trails we relentlessly makE.
Seems e-mail, files and texts can't replace paper noteS

    People give off carbon dioxide too (just like trees at night) and are therefore generating the bad greenhouse gases that we will all be taxed on in the near future - scam of the century. Redistribution from first to third world blackmail, but then I digress.

    Paper notes are so exclusive and personal. As a book, must be touched. And all remembers us what we can not forget!

    Au contraire mon cherie! The bean counters have found we actually use more office paper now since everybody seems to want a hard copy of emails and the like. But it does sound reasonable enough in the offing, thanks.
