Facebook is alluring
The banter never ends
I never would have thought
One has so many friends
I don’t have that many
I only have a few
But too many others
Have little else to do
And they feel so compelled
Stating every little bitty
The sole purpose of which
Is to make others feel shitty
It’s nice to hear from you
Though these memories fade
I’m not sure I liked you
Even back in sixth grade
I’d go on more often
But now I’m offended
It’s hard to believe
I’ve just been defriended
But I’ll tell you, my friends
As I strive to drunk dial
I’ll update my status
And then check my profile
I used to think Facebook
Was all glamour and glitter
Just thinking ’bout it now
Makes me all a twitter
