Hordes use Facebook to engage;
When it went dark,
squeals of outrage
As the six-hour
silence* bred much doubt
When employees also
were locked out!
Some internal
issue - or a bug?
With social
media the new drug
With Instagram
and WhatsApp, Guys,
The Facebook
family runs young lives!
So, panic stations!
Sweat and tears
As this fiasco
fuels new fears
All untoward, we
can’t connect;
Do gremlins rule the Internet?
This
glitch of course makes headline news
As attempts to
log on are refused;
Addicted to this
box of tricks
Its users yearn
for a quick fix!
Our giant,
bless him, has clay feet!
Nerds around
the world compete
To get their
show back on the road …
We harboured
thoughts all would implode!
This hiccup caused a wave of grief
Now billions breathe
sighs of relief!
Today - no
ripples on the screen
All back to
normal, it would seem …
