I’m feeling blue, blue like the “f” word.

You know, the “f” word—

the one with the “k” at the end.

I’m feeling blue, but not as in color,

blue as in sad, and it happens

every time I look at that big “f”

with the color blue in the back.

 

The screen comes on

and there’s nothing but blue.

That big “f” on Facebook

makes me feel bad

because you don’t message me,

never poke me, and, on my pictures,

you don’t even click like.

 

How can you be so selfish

after all I’ve done for you?

Have you forgotten how I

commented on the comment

you made about my comment

about that topic nobody knew?

 

Man, just thinking about it

is making me blue, but no longer

blue as in sad. No, it’s making my face

change color: blue of rage, blue as in mad.

So I’m going straight to your timeline

and will click unfriend. And when

the screen asks me: Are you sure?

I’m going to say: Of course, I am!

 

See what you’ve done? I’ve got one less friend

and now I’m down to five hundred and ten,

but I guess it’s okay because I just remembered

you and I never even met.

 

So farewell, ex-friend, you’ll be gone for good.

This is a great reason for me to no longer feel blue,

plus, I just noticed I’ve got ten new friend requests!

So goodbye, goodnight and… oh, yes: “F” you!
