An Ode To Network Sites in the style of Rabbie Burns

(best read in a broad Scottish accent)

 

Oh the byspale joys of Facebook and Twitter,

The maist addictive things ohn ma compitter.

Ye mak me smile, ye mak me laugh,

But aince ahm ohn, ah cannae git aff.

 Ah, the bletheration that aboonds,

The bletherskates aa doin their roonds,

They really are a cantie bunch,

Taukin aboot wha they are hawin fir lunch.

Or mibby they’re feelin a bit peelie-wallie,

Or they’re haein a nicht oot at the ballet.

They post up their photies wi’ a peerie wee tag

Fir aithers to “like”, or jist tae brag.

Ah should hae been aff here a long while sin

But the clashmaclavers keep drawin me in.

Ma hoose is a midden, the dishes need done,

But time spent netwurkin’ is much mair fun
