A WORD TO THE WISE
 
by Susan M. Garrett
 
 
 
 
Turn off all your terminals,
Lock up your PCs tight,
Put your Macs and Apps to bed,
On March's final night.
 
For danger lurks in cyberspace,
Now's not the time to coast--
Check every word, use all your wits,
To test and doubt each post.
 
        The Raven's now a disco?
        And Schanke's left the force
        To open his own restaurant
        (Souvlaki-free, of course)?
 
        Janette's gone on the wagon
        And works with wayward girls?
        Our Nat's gone punk--cut off her hair--
        Now leather, pins, no curls?
 
        LaCroix's reformed completely,
        Pays taxes, reads the news?
        Nick has signed to do stunt work
        On a movie with Tom Cruise?
 
But close your eyes and take a breath.
Please count from one to ten.
Review your FK digest posts,
Then read them once again.
 
You know the postings must be false.
Now <who> could be so cruel?
The answer strikes you in a flash--
THE COUSINS!--April Fool!
