The Psycho She Met Online

The Psycho She Met Online

There was an old woman,who lived 
alone in a flat.
Her neighbors laughed and cruelly 
called her, "Moonbat!"
Her hair,gray and gnarly, wow!
It scared some folks, she really did 
look like a bat from hell.

Moonbat had no kids, but a PC she did.
So she went to online chat rooms,
To laugh and to play and to pass away
her last, dull days.
But suddenly things transformed her,
In a magnificent, unforeseen way!

Moonbat could not even walk to her
front door!
Let alone cross continents, this made
her roar!
"Yes, that's me, the vixen with gnarly
hair and disabled"
The threatening email read as follows:
"Do not touch my man, don't you dare."
Like what? From her wheelchair?

Moonbat, the old crone, wheeled herself 
to her sink, howling with laughter!
"To even think I am young and pretty,
Oh, thank God, what a gift" said she.
Moonbat's laughter rang out so loudly 
it filled her entire city.
Laughing for hours, hardly a pity!

Such be the nature of online relations.
Yes, but who will believe me?
Perhaps a wizard, on the Council of Foreign 
Relations?

Moonbat got a haircut, destroyed her
PC with keyboard as soon as she could!
And moved to a cabin in the dark, deep 
woods.
Met a charming, loving man...and lived 
on most happily.
And a hearty thanks to the jealous woman 
who started this, not so gracefully.

****Three cheers for jealousy****

great rhyme, it is great to read such a variety of poetry on the soup. You also highlighted an issue that won't go away in a hurry. and has got worse since social media started to spin out of control.

Good afternoon, David! Social media can be vicious and wonderful. Bot, it's no different than the real world. Jealousy is a biggie in both worlds. Hurt and harm exist in them too. We all can trust too much. Panagiota Ty for commenting...)))
