Weird Internet Poetry

Yesterday in creative writing class we did this group poem-writing exercise. We agreed upon the topic (the internet) and then we each wrote a line. The type of poem is the Pantoum which is a Malaysian party poem (weird, right?) Ours came out okay/sorta funny so I thought I'd share it :) Since I'm writing a lot of poetry/short stuff in my creative writing class, I think I might make this a semi-regular thing.

(Just FYI, I didn't come up with the title... nor do I like it that much. The lines I came up with have an asterisk.)
