Thou Art Face Book
Face Book thou art mean to me
will you be my undoing?
From my public bursts of anger
to my public boo hoo hooing.
Opinions that I once confessed
like I like dogs, not cats.
Or how I hate republicans
and I hate democrats.
Sometimes getting full of me
in my boxer underwear.
As I sit here in judgment
not shaved with uncombed hair.
Sitting here behind my screen
not believing what I see!
Reading posts from some unknown.
Did they mean that for me?
How dare they think they know me
as a lump forms in my throat.
After all! The things they know
are only what I wrote!
Woe is me cruel face book
it seems I cannot win.
I get set free from drama
and then I'm right back in.
Betty tossed her salad
Bobby told some lies.
Jerry needs a bath real bad
before he starts drawing flies.
Emma left her lover
Tom found somebody new.
I saw a home made movie.
It looked a lot like you!.
