Today’s poem is “ad absurdum” ... ad ab-sur-duh m ... to the point of absurdity. (Dictionary.com)
What is this urge, to reveal,
Everything you’re thinking,
Every motive, every plan,
‘Til in detail you are sinking?
Taken ad absurdum,
All these things you’re posting,
Give more information,
Than what’s needed for your boasting.
We know your cat is white,
And what you had for lunch,
About most facets of your life,
We have a healthy hunch.
Maybe a little mystery,
Would be more enchanting,
And fewer comments would be seen,
Which would need recanting!
