THE ONLINE THING <\/p>\n

There is so much online banter,
\nNo matter which way you swing,
\nSome people share the Gospel,
\nOthers are into the politics thing.<\/p>\n

Music vids occupy a high place,
\nAstronomy pics are also one fav,
\nIf you post something really cool,
\nAll your friends will no doubt rave.<\/p>\n

Silly jokes are likewise common,
\nSome will surely make you laugh,
\nYet others won’t make the mark,
\nYou’ll think that person’s so daft.<\/p>\n

Pets and animals are so popular,
\nSome folks prefer food and drink,
\nWhatever your particular interest,
\nYou’re free to say what you think.<\/p>\n

Indeed there are so many voices,
\nI mean like you have never heard,
\nSome posts are rather sensible,
\nWhile others seem totally absurd.<\/p>\n

Just a hodgepodge of opinions,
\nWith some of them you will agree,
\nIf not you can simply scroll on by,
\nThat’s the right of speech liberty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
