The Internet

The Internet Across the earth they cast a net In which a worldly soup is met The good the bad the in-between The dark the light and greyish sheen All jumbled in a mighty throng The clever right, the woeful wrong It is the same, or so I’m told Just like the fisher nets of old They trawled the oceans deep dark floor And netted creatures by the score Some fat and plump, a rich reward Some dank and foul, tossed overboard And so, be sure that when you stray Along that road... the net’s highway To use your brain and use it right And cast the rubbish out of sight Check all your facts, don’t use one source Before your genius you enforce For though the net’s a magic tool You wouldn’t want to look a fool.
