Appearances on FB.

Douglas Blair 1951 (London)

Rhymed
I see what you do
On your Facebook
It all looks
So glorious.
The kids, up and down
The talk of the Town.
But could it be
Your life’s a bitch?

I hope that the converse
Prevails though
You’re one of my friends
I should care.
I try to give more
Than a thumbs up.
Perhaps in a message.
Solace there.
