When we go running about
Amidst jeers and shouts
We wonder what the fuss
Can be which is so unjust
And then it comes to light
There are TWO who have sight
And have chosen to so use
The Net to share their views
Only one has chosen poems
Which sometimes - do roam
And another has chosen prose
Which employs some of those
Words which'd be better omitted
For they are really not fitted
To this openness of vision
Which allows children admission
So I say we should censor self
For as adults, we should shelve
The leanings we have to abuse
Language which can be so loose
Remember there are young minds
Who can be hurt with the kinds
Of language one does so employ
As one speaks loosely without joy
Those who create sites so open
Should remember and put hope in
Their usage of words and ideas
Which could send away with tears
Young and impressionable minds so
Who have only just begun to show
Their appreciation of the wonder
Being connected - can put you under
