Viral Videos

I’m glad we had no YouTube
when I was in my teens
Or selfies that went viral overnight
I cringe to think of what I did
in those hilarious scenes
that someone could have posted out of spite

The Merry Christmas parties
with a lamp shade on my head
The bleary mornings after
wondering what I did and said 
I’d hate to see me preening
as I know I would have done 
When I wore my jacket inside out
which seemed like so much fun

I’m sure I’m not the only one
who blushes at the thought
Of things that I would just as soon forget
So I’m grateful that the fun and games
I settled out of court
won’t be orbiting forever on the Net
