TWITTER BLUES <\/p>\n

Twitter Blue is really a money grab,
\nBetter off spending my cash on a cab.
\nI bought Twitter Blue for a whole year,
\nBut did my tweets even move up a tier?<\/p>\n

Ha! Nope, not at all, it is still the same,
\nI am getting tired of this Twitter game.
\nThey don’t like me, what have I done?
\nWhy don’t my tweets ever see the Sun?<\/p>\n

My views are lousy, I’m shadow banned,
\nIt’s quite obvious my posts are canned.
\nNobody sees them, I am just all alone,
\nSo why do I even burn up this phone?<\/p>\n

The Twitter blues got me, you can see,
\nBut how would you feel if you were me?
\nI’ve been on Twitter for 12 plus years,
\nMaybe it’s time for me to change gears.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
