Password Blues

In the space they call cyber
we create a word for our access.
This word must be like no other
but one we must always remember.
When it all began
there really was no plan.
Any old word would do
maybe even the size of your shoe.
But alas along came the hacker
who evidently knew the size of your shoe.
Make it 8 characters with numbers too,
and a cap here and there to make it strong.
Make sure that you never type wrong.
Your pet's name you used to remember
but Spike or Shep will no longer do.
What? Now it must work with your email too.
Over the space we call cyber
we scatter our words and addresses.
From site to blog to Verizon,
online banking as well as photo making.
It's hard to remember words with no reason.
but I think I've found the solution,
It's simple you see when you just rename your dog

Here 45mkJ3_sPik9Ke it's time for a walk
now... where's that damn leash.

My hubby wrote this, he who worked diligently on my blog today, that was lost... due to missing passwords and estranged email addresses, but has been found again. Thank you, honey.

Our world is henceforth built on numbers and codes of words and numbers.
This sure will have moreover extensions and repercussions in the future.
Is generally lost the poetry and right and with rythm reason, from the vocabulary of many new persons.
But will always exist hope does not happen this.

Rich! I love it. Didn't know you were so creative! And I love your dog's name! 45mkJ3_sPik9Ke

Wow! I think his bark is worse than his bite!

You hang with Smag and keep on adding to her website...what a guy.

AND WORK VERIFICATIONS!
THOSE SILLY THINGS
SOMETIMES THEY ARE OBVIOUS
BUT MOST TIMES THEIR DERANGED!

THEY RUN TOGETHER
THROUGH EACH OTHER
TO STEST YOUR STABILITY
AND I WOULD RATHER

MAKE UP MY OWN
AND SEE THEM FREAK!
