Musk

There is a man known as Musk
Very rich is how he grew up
Twitter is his new toy
A site I avoid
Because real birds I prefer and love.

He is wealthy but does that mean
He has the best of everything?
For common empathy and street wise
Can miss him in the sky rise
And we all fit the same size grave trust.

He did a poll to see
Who really wants him as chief
though he lost 
it is at what cost
Twitter is a made up thing!

I had heard of him running for president possibly. At This point, i would probably vote for him just because I find him to go against the norm, and anybody "different" is more appealing to me than the norm. Anyway, i doubt he has a chance . i don't even use or understand Twitter,but i hope he has made it better. Nice poem

Twitter does have its advantages, but what once felt like home has lost its appeal to increased commercialism. Having said that, I must say that I enjoyed your poem, Karen :) Regards and festive wishes are coming your way // paul
