Money Money Money

by Chris Sorrenti


makes the world go ‘round
in more ways than one
including Facebook
though adding new meaning
to the word
inappropriate

from experience learned
usually don’t accept
friend requests
from those unknown
but every so often
catching me in the right mood
given half a chance

but as so often before
an amicable face
leads to the ultimate no no
in my book
introductory conversation
unfortunately soon arrives at
a request for cash

sorry pal
with a click on their
pull down menu
a new acquaintance
quickly discovers
him or herself
unfriended

Isn't that the truth! I've not experienced this as I just avoid friend requests unless I already know them. What a curious, greedy, shameless world we live in. Good title and I like the structure of this with short lines and that last stanza almost shaped like the drop down arrow you mention.

yes, you're right/ I will NOT friend someone unless I know them. Sometimes I feel like Face book has becom e just one more addiction.
