If it’s true we grow to look like our pets
what possesses someone to buy a Sphinx?
What do Gay people look like
and can straight people bend?
What if they’re right?
Whatever we think we are doing with
social media – is it true?

Tonight, over at dVerse Poets Pub, whimsygizmo in Quadrille 212 asks us to contemplate What the What?
(A Quadrille is a poem written in exactly 44 words…)
Oh my Andrew. Good question! What we think we are doing with social media and what is actually being done are very disparate things.
Gay people are beautiful and many straight folk find it impossible to bend.
Too true, Helen…
I especially like that last line, as it’s the beginning of a mantra I once learned:
THINK before you speak: Is it True? Helpful? Inspiring? Necessary? Kind?
I think if we applied this to social media as well, we’d all be a whole lot better off.
Indeed, De – thanks for the prompt…
Oh, I love this, Andrew! Great questions.
Thanks, Punam, ever since encountering the Book Of Questions I have been collecting my own…
Truth (like in truth social)… if I remember correctly Pravda means truth… if you need to spell it out it isn’t
I didn’t know that was what Pravda means – thanks Björn…
