one minute you're an SM (social media) Messiah

 

Humpty’s star was on the wane

He only had himself to blame

Once famous and extremely rich

Life was now such a bitch.

Time had marched on

And it didn’t take long

Before everything changed

His charméd life rearranged.

Social media had been his friend

A friendship he thought would never end

Till that awful, fateful, day

A tiny rumour made its way

Onto his site. “Humpty’s name is very apt

If like me you’ve been trapped

With him alone”

Was the DM on his phone.

Ignored at first, it grew and grew,

Why this was no one knew.

Humpty grew more alarmed

As his life became ‘uncharmed’.

His followers shrank while rumour grew

And bile and spite it did accrue.

His denials fell flat

What’er he said mattered not

His likes dropped off, his profile withered.

He’d done nought when all considered.

From King of the Hill

His rep murdered by a poison pill.

To save himself he resigned the game

But not before he went insane.

The moral of this tale is clear

Ride the wave but be aware

One day you may be Cock-a-hoop

The next you’re out of the loop.

One minute you’re an SM Messiah 

The next, an SM Pariah.
