Notification Bell of Love
Ode to YouTube reactors
Alone in my home
Or escaping my kids,
There’s no better company
Than your reaction vids,
Whether you’re gasping at Hamilton
Or rocking to Queen.
And there isn’t a black-and-white movie
You’ve seen!
It’s all new to you,
Whether Gen Z or Boomer.
I don’t think you’re faking.
That’s only a rumor!
And after I’m through
Streaming all of Netflix,
I’ll re-watch it with you,
My reaction fix,
As you ask, “Who’s that actor?”
And, “What year is this from?”
I answer you out loud.
I don’t care if it’s dumb!
And when you cry and say you’ve never
Heard a voice like that before,
I feel such validation!
I’ve got to have some more!
And before you can say “Thanks, guys!
Smash that Like button! Hit that bell!”,
I’m subscribing to another reactor
Who just discovered Nell.
Reader, if no one in your home
Chokes up at music or old films' beauty,
YouTube reactors will feed your soul
Like the guy I’m now watching watch Rudy!
