"I'm a Facebook Database Scientist" [ditty]
I'm a Facebook Database Scientist
& I mind my Ps & Qs
I've a zillion on my client list
& I pay my union dues
every link you click every page you pick
all becomes my grist-for-mill
I can analyze lurking in your eyes
every wisp of whim or will
If you like a thing I can feel the sting
on an unliked page obscure
when you tag a photo I see & know
if indeed your thoughts are pure
I watch viral waves of happiness spread
I track epidemic blues
I'm a Facebook Database Scientist
& I mind my Ps & Qs

Riffing (perhaps somewhat after Gilbert & Sullivan) on a news report, Facebook spreads emotions among friends (San Jose MercuryNews.com)
["Facebook data scientist" (that unintentionally-amusing phrase in the article) edited to "Facebook Database Scientist" (in the poem) for sake of cadence]
