Ode To a Man On a Social Media Photo

He’s no Romeo, the man in the photo There was a young man with the same name I think I met him twenty years ago He was no Mr. Popularity but an average Joe He had steel rimmed glasses and a lanky frame He’s no Romeo, the man in the photo I can’t control where my fingers go Social media is a one-sided stalking game I think I met him twenty years ago Sometimes he was less a friend than a foe Arguing about politics every time he came He is no Romeo, the man in the photo Yet I can’t deny that I miss him so Wondering what the eccentric man ever became I think I met him twenty years ago All in all, he brought more laughter than woe Clowning with a spoon on his nose without shame He’s no Romeo, the man in the photo I think I met him twenty years ago
