The perils of Internet Dating

Are many and varied too

You never know who you're 'speaking' with

You only know of you

Words that come in an email

The truth can be so scarce

And with  a few emoticons

You're floating in mid air

It may not be just who you thought

Anonymous words on a screen

Can tell you just about anything

For you to believe in your dream

Even if they send pictures

How can you know it's them?

It seems a case for me again

To investigate Zen!

I still don't know what Zen is

I guess I never will

Beware of words on the Internet

They can really sap your will!

And even with some nagging doubts

You still want to believe

At least until a certain point

Is reached then you're deceived!

Well actually you weren't deceived

You knew it all along

At least you thought you knew you did

And that's what breaks the song!

The tune that was harmonious

Has seemed to change it's key

Instead of harmonic convergence

It's in the key of Screech!

But yet you wanted to believe

And may I warn you buddy

You'll really never know who it was

Who finally asked you for money!
