Oh my love, my darling love,<\/p>\n
and in the words of a well known song,<\/p>\n
‘you’re my favourite waste of time’<\/p>\n
my opening to the outside world.<\/p>\n
My lifeline how you trap me<\/p>\n
in knowledgeable clutches you ensnare.<\/p>\n
I demand to know how many likes I have for every single share.<\/p>\n
Ecstasy washes over me\u00a0 20 likes, 3 hearts. Whoo hoo<\/p>\n
Depression descends, no likes, why don’t they love me anymore. Boo hoo.<\/p>\n
Oooh, Jenny’s eaten an ice-cream, well it was a hot day.<\/p>\n
And Sandra’s walked three miles and announced it via Nike.<\/p>\n
Sarah’s baked a cake from BBC online recipes<\/p>\n
And I have liked and loved them all in virtuality.<\/p>\n
I must go now and put you down to rest<\/p>\n
for it’s crucial for me to sleep unlike you my virtual lust.<\/p>\n
Ping, ping, are these more likes?<\/p>\n
I’ll just quickly peek and see.<\/p>\n
