Following Facebook

Social Media has changed our lives

In ways both good and bad.

Will it stick around or is it

Just a temporary fad?

Know people's current location.

Even see what they had for dinner!

Find out election results:

Who's the loser? Who's the winner?

Keep abreast of births and deaths,

Weddings and celebrations.

Send your condolences,

Comments or congratulations.

Read up on current trends;

Catch the latest breaking news.

Share a joke or witty saying;

Find out people's political views.

Watch a video clip or listen

To a friend's brand-new song.

Post your favorite recipe.

(Hey, with that you can't go wrong.)

Read a poem or view people's

Photo albums on their wall.

Sift through scores of unchecked "facts."

Yes, Facebook has it all.

Sometimes there is TMI;

Sometimes there is not enough.

Sometimes there is powerful info;

Sometimes there's a lot of fluff.

You don't have to read my postings.

No, that would not offend me.

However, if you choose to block them,

I'd prefer that you unfriend me.
