Thumbs And Facts

 _______________________________________________________________________________________________

 

When the thumbs-up

of the virtual world

abandoned him,

his day was without

sunshine

 

But she didn't need

their thumbs

because she knew

who she was

 

She knew she was

good

because she could see

through the lens

and had done so

for twenty-five years

 

Ten major newspapers

and journals

had said as much

 

She said to the virtual world

"Keep your thumbs

in your pockets"

 

His day turned darker

until she served him

cognac
