Welcome to My Poetry Site
I Read It on the Internet
"I read it on the Internet
So it must be true.
There it was in black and white,
With colored photos, too.
"Question what I read? Why?
That's customary?
It was on the Internet!
That's not necessary.
"No, the writer doesn't matter.
What credibility?
The article was written with
Impeccable facility.
"Of course it confirms what I think.
Thus, it was worth reading.
Words to the contrary
Wouldn't be worth heeding.
"Did it open up my mind?
Please, don't make me laugh.
'Open minds are dangerous!'
Should be my epitaph.
"A challenge? Ah, who needs that.
I would rather be
Nestled in my notions
And my complacency."
