Notes About The Poem

This really happened when a friend posted her picture

She really looked good and I typed, “Looking good T___

Later I saw she had posted she blocked me because it auto corrected

Looking old

I was so upset and tried to let her know, but I guess because she blocked me, she will not see my message to her. I am hoping another friend will share my message with her.

So embarrassing.

A Warning To All My Facebook Friends

This is a warning to all my facebook friends
Double check your posts before you press send
You see I did not do this & a friend I did offend

My post was meant to say, “ you are looking Good”
Instead it said ,”you are looking Old”
Now my friend has blocked me thinking I was mean and cold

So next time, don't be like me and press send
Without double checking if auto correct changed your words
Now you have offended and have to make amends
