Honesty On the Internet

Honesty On the Internet

By Elton Camp

No ordinary people use the Internet
Young, handsome, beautiful you get

Where no woman is past her prime
And no man’s a sleazy ball of slime

No man admits that his head is bare
Rather, he claims thick, blonde hair

Not a female has sagging breasts
My figure is great, she protests

Men go to the gym every day
That he’s obese, he’ll never say

And such healthy folks are these
Not a one of them has herpes

Financial security all do claim
While welfare’s the actual game

The unmentioned problem, of course
Forgetting the need to get a divorce

A great desire does remain
For a regular fix of cocaine

Online honesty is extremely rare
So get involved only if you dare
