LAVATORY WALLS

I've often heard Facebook described as an echo chamber.  But a better description by Stephen Fry is a "lavatory wall".

 

My intellect’s mapped out on Face Book

My wisdom, opinion and wit

In time to be thought of a Bible

The Great Works of Coopey as Writ.

 

I started my scholarship early

By scribbling on lavatory walls

Some say that I haven’t developed that much

Or progressed in my writing at all.

Ha ha, Stephen. I remember one of our teachers ranting about the dreadful standard of spelling in the school when he found “Wakner” carved into a desk.
And thanks for the Likes, Stephen A, Holden, Kevin, Steve and John.

At the age of 10, I was hauled up before the headmaster for scribbling on the walls of the school corridor. It was pointed out that I had misspelled a word. The shame was too much and I gave up graffiti for life. Perhaps that's why I don't use facebook.

Interesting poem, John.
