A Classification Ditty
 

In a discussion with a friend in Florida about viruses and hackers she finished a mail saying "What kind of people populate our planet?" Which led to this .......

During my childhood, a favorite joke,
Perennially repeated by my simple folk -
How many kinds of people are around?
The answer - Just 3 kinds are found!
Those that can count make up a type,
The other is those for whom Math is hype.

As I grew up I got some great advice
Just two classifications of people suffice -
One type who'll as a gentleman you treat
Until and unless their faith you cheat.
The other kind treats you like bran,
Till you've proved to be a true gentleman!

But now I see people of so many kind,
Murderers, hackers and destroyers I find,
It makes me feel our days are numbered.
Oh Wait! I have suddenly remembered...
A fact that is of importance paramount
These are the folk that 'just don't count'!
