take note all the asterisked fields
are absolutely positively required
want more information soon revealed
of your further actions to be mired

you must supply your date of birth
and the maiden name of your mother
data collected of calculable worth
reasoning behind is for none other

than heartfelt insatiable ongoing need
to know any and every minutia of you
it's not just on your wealth we feed
your very soul we want to see through

fill out the form, go ahead and let go
can't get to the next screen, next step
without filling out all that you know
no trivial points or secrets are unkept

supply the query of your first pet
be sure we'll get your Lat and Long
the more we desire the more we get
keep it flowing and we'll all get along

don't feel that the need is systemic
or you're wrongfully taken to task
everyone's details are purely academic
just ignore that man behind the mask

the feeding of our databases pandemic
I'll double-down wager with any bookie
that digital-land data mining is endemic
like the Cookie Monster "feed me cookie!"
