On A Plate
ON A PLATE
So very tired of all those
Poor Facebook addicts
Posting pics of the food
They are about to eat
He posted a photo of
What he’d already eaten
Brown, sausage-shaped
Shining on a white plate
Sadly it did not go viral
Then he remembered
“If at first you don’t …”
He thought, “I’ll produce
A more successful one
And post it tomorrow!”

Good. It’s a bit late in the day for eating anyway. 🙂
I wrote this partly for a friend who has a poor view of folk who delight in posting their food on Fessebouche (as do I and my late wife). A questionable habit, especially when one considers how many people are going to bed at night hungry or are dying of starvation. 😦

No, not at any stage of its journey. What’s that phrase? Oh I know. “Get a life!”

Haven’t quite grasped the rationale for such pictures.

Me neither, as you can probably tell. Definitely some kind of weird ego-trip thing though I think as I’m hinting here with some gentle mocking.

Facebook is free – and when it’s free – you’re on sale.

“There’s no such thing as a free lunch.”
And lets throw in the spyware that is the Gorgle Search engine and Gorgle Chrome while we’re at it? Why not switch to DuckDuckGo and Opera? (Until the Gorgle monster buys them up at least.)
