Eulogy For TikTok/ Hark, It Is Risen

Eulogy for a Service restored from death.

One of the problems of our modern era when it comes to satire is that things changed so fast, it's hard to knock out a good piece of parody poetry before the world has changed all over again. It's hard to know what to make fun of! What follows is a poem I wrote when TikTok was banned, but before I could publish it, it was restored, and here I am with a perfectly good parody poem, and reality has changed around me. I decided instead of letting it languish, that I was just going publish it today, as a reminder of the power of Shakespeare satire poetry to mildly amuse, even in the age of short form video.
