I've fallen into the net,
laid by the mighty internet
FB and google rule the roost
while I follow post after post
Dishes wait and so does lunch
I'm a busy person, online forever
Juggling many a browser,
time for me is, sigh!, a crunch
Typing away furiously one day
the milk overflowed and dried away
the curry was a little salty
and the husband remarked a bit nasty
Said I, "Oh, what do you know
I've an image with fans and follow
Who will run the Facebook
if I turn into a cook?"
Hubby looked a little scared
for,the woman he married
seemed a little mad
I smirked a bit and added,
"I need to go, 've tasks on hand-
there are comments to be liked,
some pending 'group' invite.
Then there are posts to be shared,
which also need my expert advise"
I can be your friend on FB,
share your jokes and add repartee
But, beware I could spill the beans too
and click the 'un-friend' tab next to you!"
Hubby made a hasty retreat
there was no way he could beat
the world wide web entirely
for, it houses the world, virtually!
