My 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.
