The Net is a wonderful place for all to be

There are doors which open up virtually free

And the wonders of sweet exchanges between some

Makes you want to go back for some more fun

But every once in a while you run into pain

When certain types insult without any gain



I wonder at times what causes such insolence

And then realize it is the very system so tense

Which brings such open doors to all who type

And allows them access to all kinds of hype

Which stirs the mind and creates quite a flutter

And thence in turn - this causes them to utter

Words of such unspeakable filth and horror

We become ashamed and hang our heads in sorrow 



I wonder can we resolve to limit some access

And by thus so doing - achieve any success?

We must consider what these open doors are doing

To our youth - as they sit typing and chewing

There is concern we have far too many doors open

And now with news stories - I wonder what hope in

Limited access to those who are too young to see

All the beauty they can enjoy if they don't flee

After making statements of hurt and ridicule

           And stick around to see 

                       there are no real fools
