Privacy Poem Example (abcb rhyme pattern)

Private Living

Give up civilized life for a cave
Digital secrets can’t be told
Prepare for your social life deep freeze
Get used to your time in the cold

Nothing online for people to save
On Ebay you’ll never be sold
“I’m off the grid” now you can wheeze
“Life’s filled with cavernous mold !”

Instead of a Tweet you’ll give ‘em a wave
‘cause e-mail is even too bold
ID protection will be a real breeze
Hacking thieves can’t ever take hold

If it’s privacy you frequently crave
Guess it’s a sign that you’re old
Disconnected life’s as fun as you please
By computers you can’t be controlled
