It's a wonderful world

The romantic old fart who hit on me
The lonely housewife who winks at my baby
They cross path on the Internet
And weave themselves a spider's web
He put forth other men's poetry
She marvels at his sense and sensitivity
Save us a lot of trouble
How wonderful

I wonderGot a new slow cooker

Nice poem solid.
Old farts often hang around lonely old housewives.

I see skies of blue and old farts who stick like glue....

You too?

The internet is full of depressed people with depressing stories who do depressing things together. The sordid dance is rarely so artfully reflected in poetry, I think.

Thanks for the comment, Matt. Your words capture this peculiar world very well.

Opera has a good deal of sunshine, compared to a lot of places I've been online. It's nice.

Actually, shit happens everywhere.

Oh yeah. Depressed people just tend to spend more time in their rooms. That gives them more time to spend online

I haven't been to many other places but I don't think one online community is better than another. This one is just more international, perhaps.

I think there are definite differences in communities, and the types of people you'll find there. MyOpera is, on the whole, a much more mature place than many others.
