Admit it...you knew this had to be coming...

This is my first posted poem here that is neither erotic or a love poem...if there is interest, I may post more...thanks...

The Facebook Poem

I’d heard about social networking,

And how it was the next big thing,

So I just had to take a look,

And ended up on Facebook.

It only took me a little while,

To fill out most of my profile,

But I have spent many a night,

Figuring out the rest of the site.

I never realized I had so many friends,

The friend requests never end,

All the people I can’t stand at work,

And now the biggest high school jerk.

I have to admit I’ve learned a bunch,

I know what all my friends eat for lunch,

And it really helps me that I know,

Everyone’s favorite TV show.

The work on Facebook never stops,

I have to water my imaginary crops,

Send get-well wishes to Farmville quick,

My friend’s imaginary cow got sick.

I now realize my chances are dire,

Of ever building a Mafia empire,

And perhaps it is a bit of a shame,

My It Girl will never go on to fame.

My kids' statuses tell me of their life,

At dinner time I get poked by the wife,

I try to keep my friend count nice and fat,

So, I even signed up the dog and cat.

I guess you can say my life’s complete,

I have more friends than I’ll ever meet,

On Facebook I can roam far and wide,

And I never have to go outside.
