The Facebook B4 Christmas
The Facebook B4 Christmas
T'was the eve B4 Christmas
And all through their flat
Everyone was on Facebook
Even the yule rat
Who hoped for dropped cheese
And a sip of spilled cheer
But all were lost in cyberspace
Ignoring those near
No party was thrown
No guests did arrive
No merry, no laughter
No hugs nor hand jive
The kitchen was quiet
No noises, no smell
The laptops were open
My friends under a spell
I lept to their roof
Crazy sword in my hand
Searched out the cable
In my diabolical plan
I slashed and I slashed
Until there was no DSL
Just howls and cursing
That's how I could tell
Verizon's not coming
No WiFi tonight,
But within the hour
All was set right
The doorbell was ringing
Friends were at hand
Bringing their iPhones'
Unlimited data plans
Takeout was ordered
Chinese - a good guess,
There was sharing & laughter
And for the rat...
A spilled mess
Merry Christmas!
Please share with merriment and my best wishes for all
