Unsocial Media
Oh please avoid the absolutes;
'The smartest shoes', 'the coolest boots',
'The most amazing video ...'
I view it but it is not so.
A cat is rolling off a bed.
A man has gone and banged his head,
A party's turned into a farce,
A fellow shows his naked arse,
A cricket chappie's caught a ball,
A movie star shows warts and all.
The dullest content garners praise
In miserable communiqués
That Facebook seems to generate.
Some commentators venerate
The dullest content, weakest jokes.
Misogynistic, tattooed blokes
Post sexist comments - oh what fun.
I feel the humour's overdone.
Hit 'like' to show you love your child.
That kind of posting drives me wild.
I love my kids make no mistake
So, why not give us all a break
And save this sentimental stuff,
This corny, maudlin, hackneyed guff?
Go tell your kids you love them now.
Don't post it like some sacred cow
To worship on a Facebook page
As it will only disengage
Those you are trying impress.
It lacks in style. It lacks finesse.
