Digital Self Help

Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends
And Influence People" came out
With tips on self improvement ends,
When face to face did come about,
Or writing letters for slow mail,
Before the Facebook/Twitter age
Of keyed vocab in abbrev scale,
And banter blogging is the rage.
There's been an attempted update.
The New York Times review did charge
Molestation was Dale's book's fate.
The update - criminal at large.

Carnegie called smiling an ace.
Digitally - use smiley face.
