Outage Outrage!

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 …
