How to train someone that I know to improve their media literacy:
First of all, my friends,
I must get to the root,
When the computer is turned on,
first comes the boot,
By turning on a machine
That is described as virtual intelligence
Next I get to do
something of which I’m fond
And that is to type my name
and perform my own log on
Communicate is the next item
Something to do before I get bitter
And that is to let my friends know
That I am on by twitter
Into a world I must go
Its really not actual
This other world is really
Called something that is virtual
Once inside this other world
there is something quite bizarre
I now must communicate with
my own expressive avatar
Now my friend the lesson nears
I hope it’s not a dud
I really wanted to make this
Quite as clear as mud
I was certainly not booted out on my first read! I decided to try one more time with my given intelligence. So, I threw away my sleeping log, twitched a little, and got real about reading your blog. Here I am present on this write! And, yes, I got a little dirty - nothing I can't run down to the nearest sink to clean up!

This is turning into a real trip. The poetry is serving the same purpose as a metaphor in that it makes the object of the poetry more fun, clearer and personal. It will also serve to attract persons who are not considered technical. Dennis you have a lot of talents.
