Fly on Web
Have you met the board-fly?
Online comment wonder
Hard-line or the wi-fi
Gives you thoughts to ponder
Who’s online day or night
True the web can teach you
If you can use it right
Though wasted time you’ll rue
Sticky threads, glowing light
If you can't get a clue
You’ll stay on through the night
With website spiders tracking
Distressed threads you fright
Will send you a-packing
Which could set a fly free
If not stuck on the web
Leaving the fly to be
A stuck sucker online
True, most of us cannot
Boot the board fly offline
Which leaves you family
They want you to be fine
So you can fly off free

Internet is the new opium. Soon there will be virtual reality dens.
Wonderful poem, however, I stumbled over a few lines where the flow was choppy.
Thanks for sharing

Thank you. I will look at it again with that in mind and I value constructive critical comments, as it has served me so very well thus far!
