Faffing About On Facebook

I’m faffing about on Facebook Been avoiding it for years What began as curiosity will Doubtless end in tears Hear no speak no see no Evil learned in conversation All that knowledge lost in Two dimensional translation Like me, share me, follow All my kittens, quips and poops See the same old tired threads Go round and round in loops Hang out on my home page Scroll me up and down Watch my ego on the prowl Go trolling round the town Some nights I sit upon my hands All mischievous and itchy In order to prevent myself From posting stuff that’s bitchy Big Brother sure is watching you As are the crass and haters Dark agent provocateurs And dodgy mass debaters What price anonymity when You join the cyber race Check out your reflection Mirrored in this interface Be careful what you wish for For you may regret you’ve said it Words that carry on the wind Can go too far to edit More human than divine is this Our need for validation Best to drink this heady wine With cautious moderation Pictures paint a thousand words In galleries of minions Words spoken once may be twice shy Put thought before opinions Don’t forget the Golden Mean Steer clear of lie and rumour And when your birds come home to roost Accept them with good humour I’ve been faffing about with Facebook And I know that I’ll regret it Nuclear power, for good or ill ... I guess I kind of get it by Gail
