Like: Me!

When your friend posted a pic

Of your wanted-to-eat, wear or drink

Or of a pleasant, attractive or beautiful spot That visiting it even once you forgot

I am not supposed to be clicked or used

For accidents or hospitalization post

Much, much, more for sickness and death

Oh my God, I’m running out of breath!

All: Hmmmmnnn...

Like makes sense if you agree with me

No one should like life’s disgraces normally

Unless, otherwise, you’re born unnaturally You know, crazily?

Hahahahahaha --- Yo!

Haha: Hi, I’m Ha-ha!

Use me, choose me, click me! Hahaha ---

When something amusing hits thee

Such crazy little things called stupidity

Of probably one’s brain’s naiveté

Or someone’s brilliant parody

Use me, choose me, click me not!

When you see someone stumbles on the spot

Or else your wit be marked with a dot

And you’ll belong to the brainless slot!

All: Aha! Awesome! Bravo! Great!

Point should be taken

Don’t wait, till it’s late!

What’s on your mind??

Do you mind?? Do you mind?? Type...

Wow: Me!

When something amazing on your screen’s ongoing

And someone uncanny achieves extraordinary --- thing!

Hit me, tap me, click me with no question

But...

Hit me not! Tap me not! Click me not!

When your judgment of the post

Is only done for a boast

Of a claimed original, yet just a repost

All: Ewwww! Wake up! Wake up!

Little Susie you are!

So you won’t be punished

By Julius Caesar!

Hey, you! Hey you! Hey you!

Sad: Select me!

When someone’s posted words of a broken heart

Or a picture that shows, lovers got apart

Or when a failure in endeavor Decreases the fervor

I am the right icon! Choose this emoticon!

All: That is sadness can’t you see?

Though can be felt by you and thee

Disgusting the feeling is what it’s suggesting

For you have many reasons in rejoicing

The gift of life

Right? Right? Right? (2x)

What’s on your mind??

Do you mind?? Do you mind??

Angry: Me!

I am Angry, the child of Fury

I connote bitterness and jealousy So

click me, tap me, hit me!

If what you truly feel is me!

However…

You should avoid me from the scenes

For I am one of the deadliest sins!

I can destroy you, through and through

That’s why I shouldn’t be caught by you

All: How about, listening something from Heart?

Heart: Look for me!

So conspicuous, so different me!

The darling of the crowd

Pushes friends to be loud ---

That love is the greatest feeling

Anyone should be bringing

From the time of one’s birth

To the bed of one’s death

All: So click heart (clap, clap),

Choose heart (clap, clap),

Tap heart (clap, clap),

Hit heart! (clap, clap) [3x]

And let the world know that you know

The difference between love and like, so…

Prevent not yourself, for choosing it means…

That your humanity is never thought as it seems

Most people regard as digitally eaten

Six: So now that the six of us have enlightened you

On how you should use us from our points of view

Study the rest of us, too!

Remember, to apply psychology,

so Your world becomes our realm, though

Only in your minds, our creation is through

All: So??
