Going viral, going viral!

send Viral right over

Web viral, Web spiral

send Viral right over!

So they tell us on the Net

This little thing’s the best thing yet!

There we are on Pavlov lab of Web

Lemmings on the precipice being led

Going viral, going viral to the moon

Acting fast, don’t be last! spend it soon

Eyes and fingers dancing to the tune

Surfers drifting on the swells of rising moon

While sunbeams gleam in celestial array

To brighten children at playground play

Here we contend in the grand worldweb fray

What viral wave did we catch today?

I don’t remember.

What did the online spark render?

Well . . . I can tell you this.

This latest deal — I did not miss.

I caught the swirl just as it was going viral!

Just before it went down in the world wide spiral.

But now, upon reflection. . . maybe I been took.

Guess I’ll go read a book.

Read a Book?
