The Writing On the Wall
The Writing on the Wall
By Elton Camp
Back in the days before the Internet came to be
Folks could only gossip at things they did see
Act bad and there’d be a whispering campaign
It would die down and reputation you’d regain
About the worst that to a scoundrel could befall
Is that your name appeared on the restroom wall
A little soap and water would easily purge it away
But show up on Facebook wall and there it will stay
No matter how much you protest and complain
For years to come, the comment is going to remain
So the very best course for us is simply to do right
But if not, then do what is bad in the dead of night
Be certain not to be seen by either foe or friend
Else, it is on Facebook where the report will end
