at sunset

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

at sunset


went phishing on the internet river
caught a can of spammed emotion
and three passwords from virus-ed hearts
but threw them all back
and shut down my covert reeling
for the day
hoping the lure wasn't infected.

You are welcome Jacob.
When I first started here I had such a headache with the virus,I even complained to the administration. Finally installed an app that took care of the problem... worst thing was those awful indecent pictures. Do you suppose big fat guy sitting in the basement of his mothers' doing all this mischief??

All I can say is...got any twos...go phish. Spam...the official meat of Hawaii. Aren't there laws about luring, covert or not?
Loved to fish in my younger days, now as a senior I don't even need a license.
The way the internet works I'll be running around with a treble hook stuck in my craw. By the time I recognize a virus I'm already infected. ;-)

Good one, j.

I'm smiling at this clever write. I've inadvertently netted a couple of sharks without even trying to phish.

I am nodding mightily in agrement Jacob, whilst wondering why there is no internet security firm called the virtual condom. It would protect all manner of nasty things and remind you each day to be careful where you put your rod and seriously avoid those infected lures.
