Instagram…a lament
I’m a fledgling pseudo writer,
At most just a flash in the pan,
I’m a decrepit low tech old geezer,
But I’m told I need Instagram.
My book has very few readers,
I’m not but an also-ran,
But young people contend that the solution,
Is a presence on Instagram.
They say my pictures aren’t sexy,
Sometimes foolish, but mostly just bland,
The attraction is definitely elsewhere,
Especially on Instagram.
A publisher said ”I’m sorry,
You’re just a funny old ham,
But your writing doesn’t actually matter;
What matters is Instagram.”
“Get rid of LinkedIn, Facebook, and Goodreads,
They’re basically a bit of a scam,
Start taking a whole bunch of selfies,
And post them on Instagram.”
She noted that I have very few followers,
Some are friends; others seem more on the lam.
One is a dog named Fiona,
The cutest on Instagram.
What I need is an agent, a life coach,
A mentor, who isn’t a sham,
A role model with a bevy of readers,
A master of Instagram.
