Dear John

I opened the mail with trepidation 
Reading the words with great hesitation 
	Stunned at the message 
	My life a wreckage 
She’d wed another–humiliation.

Too much social media going around for me It used to serve its members, now I think it serves its masters. smiles, Linda

Well done -- at least John didn't hear about it on 'social media' first. Great limerick, Linda! :) gw

Thank you GW. I actually wrote one in "new" terminology/technology but it just didn't sound quite right. ;)
