A News Report
 
Love is alive as Eros gambols on the lines of E-Mail and Internet,
But my murine aide has failed to lure him to my computer yet.
I’d love to join a love-in on the information superlative highway,
But now I learn a deadly virus at School of Med, is driving them away.
Should I press “enter” then wait for a call back from a distant paramour?
And then invite him closer by pressing “more” and “more” and “MORE.”
 
Dean Getto instructs us all not to be the least bit shy
That all scribblers, and even illiterates, should surely have a try
To get published, and thus become well-known.
I’ve tried calling New York editors, but no luck lurks on a telephone.
So desperately – “SWF, YOUNG, BEAUTIFUL, SEEKS…..”
No! Such lying ads can bring no hope,
Hence, I now submit my “cri de coeur” to the neonatal SCOPE.
