Social Animals

“On the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog.” – Peter Steiner

We need better watchdogs
protecting silly sheep,
falling prey to dark blogs,
the fox, weasel, and creep.

The trolls, so full of bull,
delight in being mean.
The phish will pull the wool,
while tiktok peacocks preen.

Beware the Trojan horse
sneaking into your house.
Cats rule the web, of course.
Point and click with your mouse.

Keep watching what you do,
creatures of cyber zoo.

This is so very true, Pamela, there is so much BS on the internet and the lines between truth and fiction have become blurred. It has now spilled over into our everyday lives...and the rhetoric of our politicians. It is hard to make decisions about life when you never know the truth. Nice written my friend. John
