    The poem warns that claims made by online acquaintances should be taken with skepticism, as their descriptions of themselves may not match reality. It provides several examples of exaggerated or misleading claims that could be made, such as being drug-free, having a college degree, being financially stable, having thick hair or an athletic build, enjoying variety or cooking - suggesting the reality of the person may differ significantly from what was portrayed online. The summary cautions that one should be prepared for harsh realities when ultimately meeting someone in person after only knowing them through online claims and descriptions.
