Oooh, you got me with this one.... :/ Well, it was a clever idea, I'll give it that. Not much to review, though. LOL :) But I have to say, look at all the comments you've gotten. Don't stop writing the unexpected.

You know this is the perfect example of clickbait when it starts trending in the literary spotlight (again!) six years after it was posted. :P

Sorry for you wasting all that points! Also, there is another one like this, so I am confused about that! Maybe next time you should write something great. This was a little amusing, vut I think not really worth it...

Chrissy, This was actually the first one. Unknown copied it, I think. Look at the dates.

I'm not amused. That was not funny in the least.

Inlovewithwriting commented Comment · Sep 18, 2014

Really????
You had nothing better to write.
Hopefully you'll be able to find some inspiration.
This could have been a great if you add more.
But anyway I hope you find something to write about
Maybe you could add on to this poem.


Welcome to YWS.

I liked this. I did.

Only problem is, is that I actually was hoping this was going to help me fool someone on something.

But oh wells. I still liked it in the end!! ^-^

P.S Welcome to YWS. But late but still. Better late then never, right?

Hello Harry1234!

Maybe you could put it in the other section... Because as said below it's not really poetry. But it's hilarious. And it's featured. And there are other ways to trick innocent people online, maybe you could make a spoiler under it and in it say "and this". I think that would be really cool, and if people disagree with me, at least it's funny. I was expecting something like how people scam you, but this was sooooooooooo much better.

P.S. Welcome to Young Writers Society!

This isn't poetry, and while funny, still not poetry.


>> It'd be better in the other category honestly.

I fell right into that one.

Although I was kind of expecting a Rick Roll.

Swiftfurthewarrior commented Comment · Sep 14, 2014

"I'm innocent I tell you! Nog, get me a lawyer."
"Uh, okay. I'll contact cousin Gala; I'm sure he knows one."


This is what ran through my head when I saw this.

Hey Harry1234. This is a small review because I have to get something off my chest about being "fooled". I posted a comment below saying "what is the joke?" and I was told:

Um, you were fooled because you thought this was an actual poem. But it's not, it's just a sentence saying that you were fooled.


At no point did I think that this was going to be an actual poem. It was very clear that this joke was going to happen. The joke felt more of a giveaway

And one more thing, the title says "How To Fool Innocent People Online". How do you know the reader is innocent? I can have mutilated dogs in my crawlspace, would I still be innocent?

I could get how this was funny, but this didn't fool me

Have a good day, Harry

Possibly the best picture I have EVER seen.

Is that actually a face he made? Because then Ruroni is sooo right.

Actually, I think the real way of fooling people on YWS is to have a piece on spotlight that is an actual work, and not something written just for Spotlight purposes.

But yes, very clever. xD

Haha! Great joke. But honestly? This isn't entirely correct. Title, should be "How To Fool People Online" and you should add a more interesting line instead of "Like this." I mean, this is poetry, let's keep it true to it's name! (Flow, structure, and elegance.) This was clever, but it could use some work.

Hope to read something with more meat from you :) But also, well written.

... I... I was innocent... How could you? To think... to think that such directionless malice, that such pure and unmitigated evil plagues this earth, plagues this beautiful internet... I ask again, how could you? Are you proud? Are you pleased at your trickery? Is your black, pitiless heart content at having fooled so many? HAVE YOU A HEART? DOES YOUR BLACK, VILLAINS BLOOD RUN COLD THROUGH YOUR ICY VEINS OF ITS OWN ACCORD, OR DOES SOME WICKED GOD OF THE SHADOWS PUSH IT THROUGH YOU, DRIVING YOU TO COMMIT EVIL ACTS SUCH AS THIS ONE? ALL OF THE INNOCENT PEOPLE THAT SUFFERED... DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE?? ARE YOU AWARE OF THE DISGUSTING ACT THAT YOU HAVE JUST COMITED? HOW DARE YOU?!?!?

Nah, I'm kidding. This was clever.

This is kind of funny, but I'm sorry--this shouldn't be on Literary Spotlight... Also, the title's incorrect. It should be: "How do you Fool Innocent People Online?" or "How to Fool Innocent People Online"

Next time, could you include a note that says "Do not like this"? Thank you... I know some other people have great works that could be included here.

Very funny, though.

-IronSpark

Why should he include a note that says do not like this?

Harker replied · Sep 14, 2014

Because so many people "liked" it, it's in the Literary Spotlight.

I agree 100%

People say I love you all the time - when they say, ‘take an umbrella, it’s raining,’ or ‘hurry back,’ or even ‘watch out, you’ll break your neck.’ There are hundreds of ways of wording it - you just have to listen for it, my dear.
