Demosthenes And I Poem by Dmitry Garanin

Demosthenes spoke to the sea.
I am waiting for Facebook's reply.
Which of us two is smarter?
I feel sad, still waiting for a reply…

Slowly it dawns on me -
If I don't get a reply,
Facebook is like the sea
and then I am like Demosthenes!

Suddenly Facebook replies:
"Demosthenes was a famous orator,
not like you, you idiot!
He would immediately receive
a response from Facebook! "

Aha! Here is Facebook's response!
I feel better now!
Still, I cannot decide -
Am I like Demosthenes or smarter?
