As I rummage through Facebook,
Refreshing the screen
As if it were a slot machine,
I suddenly realise:
"Why, good ol' John Doe
(Who I barely really know)
Hasn't posted in months!
I clearly haven't missed him,
He's just a friend of a friend of Jim's!"
So, I seek him out
Until there's no doubt:
He's not Unfriended me,
He's Unfriended Facebook!
Then, as my relief passes,
A wave of envy overcomes me:
Oh, to be free of notificaton anxiety!
But, what do I do next?
I refresh the screen once more,
In vain hope of a fresh reward.
