The Facebook Lament

Last night I cried into Facebook A friend, my friend, you see emailed me privately to say he didn't remember me! How dare you, I said. My picture, it's right there! Didn't my eyes reveal Our past in their hypnotic stare? How could he forget me so? Were my high-school charms so kerplunked? (in fact, in retrospect, yes, I was a bit of a dunce) I'm tempted to switch the bastard off Never again - Facebook, you're kicked But if that's the case, how will I ever know if I've got another 'free gift'? How do you deal with Facebook? Are these people just those you're afraid to ignore? Or do you "Add Friend" with the kind of abandon I deplore? 'Cause are we meant to hold on forever? Or keep one foot on each side of now and then? And if that's the case, are you gonna drown in the tide of unpaid dividends? facebook
