Facebook Rage

Facebook Rage

I typed an opinion of discontent

And you sent back immediately

An emoji showing your dissent

A statement begging to disagree

I countered with an abrupt remark

(A clever one I thought it was)

That evidently hit the mark

(Your curt reply was very cross)

And so we had an angry row

Like stags with antlers on display

Or boars fighting over a sow

Battling for the final say

There was no surrendering

We fought each other and in the end

I deleted everything

And you removed me as a friend

Now it’s damaged beyond repair

No going back for you and me

Unfriending now seems pretty fair

(Although I took it personally)

Wine and online's a toxic mix

It’s fatal when you’ve had a few

To be broadcasting politics

A keyboard warrior’s point of view

We could’ve used the phone that night

And spoke in private for a while 

Instead we had a public fight

Like rival guests on Jeremy Kyle

Hence aggressive stubborn and proud

The two of us there on the stage

Gave before the watching crowd

A demonstration of Facebook rage
