Limerick Ode To National Unfriend Day
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Do Internet pests take their toll
And play an insidious role
In your Facebooking life?
You can deal with such strife:
Just unfriend all those trolls. Take control!

Political Un-Friendship (Limerick)
Thursday, January 12th, 2012My Facebook friend, comedy writer/director/producer Chris Bearde, recently said:
Satire, taken broadly as a form of comedy protest, will bring you FB friends and lose you some too… so the playing field is always level.
Chris’s comments inspired me to write this limerick:
Political Un-Friendship (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Facebook friends can at times take offense
At jokes at their party’s expense.
If they click on “unfriend”
In order to end
Such humor exposure, they’re dense.
UPDATE: I’ve just found out that November 17th is National Unfriend Day. Apparently, the holiday was invented three years ago by Jimmy Kimmel. So, who should be “unfriended?” According to Kimmel, the “proud parent,” “the Instagrammer,” and the “overly-political poster” should all be history. Methinks I fall afoul of the third category.
