There is a game

the young ‘uns will play

on Facebook

they’re playing right now – even today.

I don’t like it –

it’s an embryo of disaster –

validation

is the goal they’re after.

“lms tbh or ti,”

to be honest, the truth is I cringe at my wall

with so many  “bored so I’ll rate”

being offered to one and all.

I know it’s tempting

but please don’t give in

and play silly Facebook games –

there’s a chance you won’t win.

You may be happy

with the end it’s true

but more likely

you’ll end up feeling quite blue.

Then those thoughts

will make you wonder why

and they’ll drive you crazy

until you break down and cry.

Do what you want

but if you choose to

you’re giving that person

control over you!

(and I say “Booooo!”)

Let me settle this now

and assure you you’re great

if I were to play

I’d say you’re totally first rate!
