A tongue-in-cheek verse on the social media, by Soumya, in Different Truths.
Your every ping
Makes my heart sing
A chat a day
Keeps blues away
Through emoticon
The heart is won
Your status update
Could seal my fate
Your profile pix
Is a heady mix
Of hot and sweet
I follow your tweet
And WhatsApp too
I follow you
On the Facebook
It is no fluke
That (your) every post
I like the most
On mails we chat
Of this and that
Until at last
Oh! Meet we must
Then I awake
Your profiles fake!
And all your pings
Of sweet nothings
Went out en masse
Alack! Alas!
My pal, my bro, my boss, my dad!
All got them, we’ve all been had!
And if all this has taught something,
Never ever trust a BBM ping.
