BREAKING UP WITH JUDY
A young hedgehog snuffles in the ground,
In full view in a suburban garden,
Rooting out tasty morsels,
Oblivious to the smartphone hovering nearby,
And to its forthcoming fame.
Judy posted the video later that evening.
I clicked ‘like’ immediately
Well who wouldn’t?
Then I read Judy’s caption:
‘Dinnertime’.
Judy - We have been friends for over 35 years,
We’ve been through thick and thin,
But I am beyond disappointed
And this is the end.
I have unfollowed and unfriended you.
And I hope you choked on the spines.
Sometimes you have to stand up for what really matters.
