Twitter Is A Bunch Of Arse

Twitter is a bunch of arse
A self-indulgent waste
Of the time the good Lord gave us
And a coffin-nail for taste
It’s a way to boast and brag and crow
About how you’re the best
And to prove that you’re so special
And so different from the rest
But the simple truth, my ego’d friends
The basic bottom line
Is that time you spend updating
Could be spent with food and wine -
You should pass the time by doing things
And having lots of fun
Not just trying to post up pithy thoughts
And tweeting what you’ve done,
If you’ve got opinions in your head
Then that’s where they should stay -
Why should the world be interested
In what you’ve got to say?
Are you really so damn special
That the world just has to know
What you think about celebrities
And how you hate the snow?
What is this urge for worldwide fame
This need to shout out loud
That you’re special, great and interesting
And not one of the crowd?
Can’t you see that if the whole world shouts
Then all the voices merge
And you just blend in with all the rest -
Your shout becomes a dirge
And you prove that you’re not special
That in fact you’re just a sheep,
You’re just bleating out with all the rest
And sending folk to sleep,
So hold back your thoughts, restrain yourself
Enjoy the now and here -
You don’t need to tweet to all the world
Each time you have a beer,
Put your I-Phone in your pocket
Toss your Blackberry away
And just live, enjoy the moment -
Don’t just tweet it all away.
