This mad fashion - friends on Facebook
More than most can name;
At daily updates they can look
It’s the modern, social game!
But I can’t be the only one
Who feels this cohort’s fake;
Who are they, when all’s said and done?
None offers hand to shake!
In the ‘good old days’, we shared
Our thoughts and time for real.
We met up, hugged and often dared
Swop feelings – great warm deal!
I pity the young of today
Who only share on screens
Their lives are empty, tinged with grey;
This isn’t what life means.
True friends, like hen’s teeth, remain rare
But are life’s greatest treasure
As they’re the ones who really care
And give the greatest pleasure…
