Facebook

Facebook is an all year Christmas letter
A contest to see who's life is better

The pictures you have that flatter you the most
You pick the most glamorous one to post

The picture showing your brand new car
Telling everyone how successful you are

1800 friends, wow you must be set
But only 18 you've ever really met

How many happy birthdays does a person need 
How many would've remembered without the Facebook feed

You don't see much of...my son is going to court
Or my husband wants a divorce 

My hair is going grey
My bills are not getting paid
