Social Networking Sonnet

(Perhaps you may like to familiarise yourself with Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 before reading this.)


Shall I compare thee to a social networking site?
Thou art more addictive and more time consuming:
Tough cheese for those who liked old facebook,
And Myspace’s popularity had all too short a date:
Sometimes too hot my laptop is overused,
And oft’ the internet connection breaks;
And every friend request sometime declines,
And some unflattering photographs de-tagged:
But thy eternal popularity shall not fade
Nor lose possession of our free time;
Nor shall our grandparents miss this trend,
Now an eternal waste of time thou growest:
As long as students can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives facebook, and this gives entertainment to thee.
