The Top 7 Haikus About the Internet
(Part I)


7> I post to my blog
and await the world’s comments.
“Get a life,” writes Mom.

6> As wind-blown petals,
muses lovingly bring forth
my “Buffy” fanfic.

5> Enjoy the outdoors,
smell the flowers and the trees,
near Wi-Fi hotspots.

4> Social networking
is better than the real thing.
Much less rejection.

3> I can’t believe it.
After one chat, a hot date!
Now I’m on Dateline.

2> Wikipedia
is the fountain of knowledge.
At least I hope so.

and the Number 1 Haiku About the Internet…

1> I was just shopping
for lingerie for you, dear.
On teen sluts dot com.
