The NEW NAME OF FACEBOOK Inspires A Precious Memory

________________________________________________________________________________________________

My cousin Richard

was always 

a topic of conversation

at an Oliverio Sunday 

family dinner

which never featured

less than a dozen diners

and three times as many

meatballs

 

Aunt Kay and Uncle Willie

were so proud that Richard

bypassed toilet training

at the age of three

 

He refuses to call it

Number 1 or Number 2

He says either "peep" or

 

At that precise moment,

Little Richard excused himself

from the dinner table

and spent five minutes

in the bathroom

but did not flush

 

Upon his return,

our Grandfather asked

What did you do?

 

Richard said

I did  Meta

 

Aunt Kay and three other Aunts

walked into the bathroom

and the toilet was full of

very large stools

 

The toilet was then flushed

and Richard had created

another Metaverse
