This was prompted by s news item about children as young as ten or eleven sexting inappropriate pictures of themselves. Seems a bad idea whatever the age of the participants.

Have you heard about this sexting?
Think it's kind of sex but texting
I find the notion really vexing
I'm appalled.

I guess the boys are thrilled to bits
To get a picture of.... she clicks.
And then she gets one back of his.
Ribald!

But is it such a good idea?
They'll surely go astray I fear.
So should you send it, oh my dear;
that photo?

Oh, why was it you did it dear?
I can't believe this picture here.
If it's shared they'll laugh and leer.
Where'd it go to?

I think those photos you'll regret.
Though maybe you can't see it yet
The internet does not forget.
Embarrassed.

Stuff will happen and change your mind
You'll fall out with friends who'll be unkind
And then, when it's too late, you'll find
You're harassed.

Intimacy's for getting close
It isn't meant for pics like those
Of you and him without your clothes.
You'll regret it.

So keep these things between yourselves
It's so much better for your health.
You really should respect yourself
So forget it.
