A Drabbly Twittery thing

This thing titled Twitter, was tempting in two thousand and ten, but I turned away;
no tolerance for tawdry tittle-tattle.
Seemed to be for tools and temptresses, trumpeting their tantalising treats to toadying troops with trite remarks and toxic tirades - transformed tranquillity to a need for tranquilisers and therapy.

Time passed.
No longer trivialised.
A twinge of envy for the aficionado’s ability to tweet trillingly, tapping out taut messages like a timpani.

Will I be able to traverse the tricky, twittery trail without falling into a trap?
Training wheels attached!
Now to transform this trajectory into tentative, tweety things.

A Drabble is a story told in 100 words. No more, no less.

Of course I couldn't resist sharing some birds 
depicting different styles of Tweeting!
Magpie - sharing joyous harmonies
Pelican - can be awkward, but is quirkily attractive
Brahminy Kite - a loner, focused, soaring free
Little Corellas - flocking gibberish -
can't hear a single voice over the collective noise
Kookaburra - premeditated
Rainbow Lorikeet - focused on sweetness
Chookies! - produce something wholesome every day
