"I'm Almost 84"

(With too many friends for Facebook)

"Too many friends," Facebook says.
I'm almost 84.
"Slow down," grumpy Facebook says,
"That's not what Facebook's for."

"Decipher this." With my old eyes?
"Put text in the box
Before you try to add more friends,
Or we will clean your clocks."

My nieces and my nephews
Thought they knew what Facebook's for,
Unless Facebook cuts me off.
I'm almost 84.

But what of all the beauties
Facebook thinks that I'd adore,
And suggests I add as friends?
I'm almost 84.

Who's damn bus'ness is it
If they're gals I should ignore?
So what if they're all younger?
I'm almost 84.
