The world is going straight to hell,
As I'm you all have seen,
Seems there's bad new everyday,
Murders and robberies.

It's not safe out on the streets,
It's a risk to be alone,
Nasty-obscene calls when
You pick up your phone.

We once could leave our doors unlocked,
Feel secure and worry not,
But now that is unheard of,
You'd surely end up robbed!

It's because of that damn internet,
I read so yesterday
They really need to censor it,
There's just no other way!

I don't know how we'll ever stop,
The smut we hear and see,
And all that porn I see each night,
On my DVD!!

You are bad, bad.

When I was a kid it was comic books that would lead us down a nasty path.

Toe!  You are something else!
Now where did that red hankie go?
Love ya like butter..
~Red~

Now - while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again..and again....

I always burst into laughter when I read one of your signature 'Toe Twists' at the end of your poems! They come out of left-field and stop me in my tracks!

You are a witty, clever man, Toe!

I wish you'd drop by more often and entertain the troops!

Toe, and here's me thinking that it was TV that made me spastic, well well, no more porn or Internet for me.

Great Write
