Where are you Paul?

I’m in Cyberspace Mum.

My Pentium processor has broadbanded me

Into this wondrous realm.

A pixel powered virtual landscape

Peopled by avatars

Speaking Internet Slang.

FFS, WTF are you talking about?

She asks.

In so many words.

I LMAO and ROFL at her incredulity.

It’s full of danger, that Internet, says Mum.

That’s true.

It’s full of paedophiles,

Spammers and trolls.

Hackers.

Chat-rooms and forums

Plagued by flame-wars

And spam enough to fill a trillion tins.

Sites full of viruses, Trojans, malware and spyware.

Cyber-bullies and loons abound.

But I just Love it.

A Heroin addiction

Needing every fix.

A realm indeed of quantum singularities,

And imploding nebulae.
