Facebook's Missing Feature

Facebook’s Missing Feature

By Elton Camp

Facebook is pretty much fun to use
But I’d like another option to choose

Not clicking Like isn’t good enough
Give me another that’s more rough

A means that I can more easily say 
I sure don’t see things in your way

A “Dislike” button I recommend
Used to rebuke an online “friend”

Make them think what they’re saying
When for a mangy dog they’re praying

Or they ask us all to promptly repost
Their sentiments that I hate the most

Multiple recipes posted every day
That on another site should stay

The thousandth picture of their child
That finally drives everyone wild

Another view of their idiot dog or cat
What would anyone care about that!

Facebook’s time would be well spent
To provide us with that little hint

Please give us a “Dislike” to click
Please see to this chore very quick

Thank you. I use Facebook daily, but do get tired of certain type posts, such as "Repost this if you love Jesus," "Repost if you hate cancer" and such inane material. I also dislike endless pictures of dogs, cats and even other people's children. Now a thousand pictures of MY kid would be fine of course. : )
