Panic on the internet
Biggest story on it yet
People say we’ll soon be hit
With a screen tax, bit by bit
Every phone and every site
Every screen we watch at night
Everybody’s full of fear
Bad news spreading far and near

Scroll all day, scroll all night
Now they say we’ll pay the price
Phones and tablets, left and right
Don’t take our screens, that isn’t right

People watched the post again
Then they told their every friend
Online stars came right away
All with something new to say
Critics, bosses, coaches too
All knew what they had to do
Everybody had a say
Quiet folks just stayed away

Scroll all day, scroll all night
Now they say we’ll pay the price
Phones and tablets, left and right
Don’t take our screens, that isn’t right

Activists went first in line
Started signing every sign
Critics said it wasn’t fair
Everybody stopped to stare
Bosses saw a way to win
Coaches said “Look deep within”
Everybody had a clue
Everybody but a few

Scroll all day, scroll all night
Now they say we’ll pay the price
Phones and tablets, left and right
Don’t take our screens, that isn’t right

Quiet people did the math
Looking for a cheaper path
No replies and no debate
Trying hard to cut the rate
Then they said with happy eyes
“We have found a smart disguise
Watch with only one eye through
Pay just half, that’s what we’ll do”

We all know this can’t be right
Paying fees to scroll all night
This could leave us broke and blue
What are we supposed to do?
We’ll quit coffee, we’ll quit beer
Sell our shirts and all our gear
Take away all that we own
Just don’t take away our phones

Scroll all day, scroll all night
Now they say we’ll pay the price
Phones and tablets, left and right
Don’t take our screens, that isn’t right

We’ll quit coffee, we’ll quit beer
Sell our shirts and all our gear
Take away all that we own
Just don’t take away our phones
…Folks! Don’t panic!……turns out this was…just fake news…again…
