Cyber Sense
I never share the things that should be only mine.
My email and my home address,my phone number and name-
These are things only l should know on websites or in games.
And so l use a nonsense name for my net identity.
When folks online ask wholamlsay,"I'm Cyber Me."
And if l ever think that someone online isn't all that bad,
I never ever meet them without telling Mum or Dad.
