The Facebook Poem Poem by Alan W. Jankowski

The Facebook Poem

Rating: 5.0


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.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Admit it...you knew this had to be coming...inspired by a comment by the owner of another site about how she did not understand Facebook because 'there is no water cooler, and people just talk about what they had for lunch'...

Nice poem. I give you 10 points. Facebook can waste a lot of time while half of the news isn't true at all.

Not the best news source, that much I will agree...though I have to admit, I really do like Facebook overall...a lot of fun stuff over there...but yeah, it can be quite the distraction as well...
