Cyber Piracy

Digital stowaway
hiding in a microwave
fiber optic shopping spree
can't catch me.

Thousand dollar Body Shop
aroma-thera-pedicure
credit card karate chop
bubble bath assault

Stolen identity very existential
temperamental credit score
eRich cash poor
Nouveau Riche cliche

*******

Toads

    Whoa, this is great, Sam. I love your short, punchy lines, especially "aroma-thera-pedicure" and "eRich cash poor"!

    I don't think you need the word "very." Everything else is so perfectly fine tuned and rhythmic and cyber, that I buy the piracy and maybe even the pirates.

      It seems like "very" is never really needed. Thanks Susan

    I like the direction the prompt took you, I guess I've never looked at a stowaway as being sinister, but your poem has changed that. Thanks for posting to the out of standard!!!!

    You manage to say so much with few words. I really like this one.
