I hate what I see on Facebook.

I hate what I see on Facebook

I hate the pictures I see

Everyone hugging

Looking so happy

What is this? I don’t like it

Makes me look at my pictures as if I am unhappy.


Hate what I read on Facebook

Love things

Private stuff

“Mwah, I love you so.”

Why do people do that?

What the heck is ‘mwah’?


You know what I am going to do?

I’m going to make me a new Facebook

It’s going to be a Male and I’m going to call him Eric

Then I am going to add Eric

Have our pictures tagged with love

Eric and is going to write ‘mwah’ things to me

And I am going ‘mwah’ him right back!


People I know hate what they see of me in Facebook

They wall me saying it’s sad that I would be so blatant

My kids don’t believe me when I say it’s all a hoax

But it’s on Facebook so; they have their minds made up



I don’t like what my Facebook is doing to me

I can’t believe my husband still doesn’t know

The mischief I am up to

“What’s the matter with you?” Our kids ask him

“She’s embarrassing us!”

“What the heck is this?”

He says, “Leave her alone.”

He looks knowingly into my face.

He reads me like a book.
