A Yearning for Twitter on Derby Day

This soliloquy laments the lack of Twitter activity during derby day due to its absence from modern-day sports culture. It expresses a yearning for the good old days when fans could come together through social media and cheer their favorite teams on with enthusiasm and passion.

Alas, what a day 'tis to be without Twitter! No tweets of joy or sorrow in the air. No banter between fans of either team, No hashtag Grenal or Gremio to share. The derby match goes on without its voice, Without the chatter of those far and near. What was once an avenue for passionate noise, Is now just a void that we all must endure. Where are the GIFs and memes that made us smile? The clever jokes and friendly banter gone too soon? It's not the same without the social media hivemind, For how can we truly revel in our favorite team's success? Gone is the joyous spirit of fandom togetherness, For no one can hear our cheers nor feel our pain. Oh what a shame it is to miss out on such camaraderie! Ahh but alas! Let us take solace in knowing that soon enough, We shall once again tweet about our beloved teams with glee!
