The Troll

I'm pretty slow to understand the world I'm living in.

I always thought a troll was just an ogre's rustic kin.

But now I find that trolls are on the Internet all day,

Sowing chaos, grief, and simply getting in the way.

They creep into a chat room, looking for a lulz or two;

Perhaps they'll use a sockpuppet to mask their point of view.

Once they've gotten everybody at each other's throat

They retire to a coffee shop where they can sit and gloat.

Anonymous and puerile, they have shown the world wide web

Is bringing us much closer to humanity's last ebb.
