ONLINE PRINCE

 

ONLINE PRINCE

 

Mama bought me a computer,

To help me study

With a distant buddy,

She knew it was handy

And true it was

Until it was not,

When I met my online prince

This prince of mine.

 

My online prince, Ah!

He say I look mwah!

In a picture I just took

And put up on facebook

This prince of my dreams

For his flattery I fell head over hills.

Yet who he is, I could hardly tell

His age, only he knows,

His intentions, only god knows.

 

 

 

 

This online prince,

A ghost in the mist of the internet

Weaving a web so intricate

“Princess, I will give you millions

And a private pavilion

If your details you will share

And a photo if you care, birthday bare.”

He laughs at his false intent,

Lies and deceit

A false web mama helps me evade

Lest I lose my worth

And fortune too.

 

This online prince, hmmm!

Now that he is shunned

Picks to plan a ploy of revenge

Pilfers my passwords

Twitter, Facebook, instagram, snapchat

He snaps my chats and soils my name

Claims things I know not

Accrues debt I understand not

Ugh! Online prince.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Worried, scared,

Glued to the screen twenty four-seven

Searching and searching

For friends real and imagined.

Technology now a crutch,

Hooked in its deceptive clutch

Online prince, now online ghost

 

Mama steps in to save me,

The prince rightly reported

Tracked down and arrested

Mama’s advice now noted

“Your password is private,

Your sanity pertinent

Online prince can go

But e-teacher should stay.”

Technology should be my servant

I, the master, must stay.
