Explain the Internet to a 19th Century British Street Urchin

First, I would give him some Old Magazines, to catch him up slowly

Meet you by the Art room door
In a circle on the hallway floor
Teacher held you back again
For drawing ogres in your text-book margin
Keeping your eyes down and dodging oranges on the bus-trip home
Every day you’re battle-scarred
But you grow up to be a bard,
You grow up to be a bard.
Hurt yourself at sports again
You’re not made for muddy games
Limping home through quiet streets
Sprinkler spits a snare-drum beat
Kids down on the vacant lot throw rocks at you,
For talking to yourself again.
Days like this are way too hard.
(You grow up to be a bard)
You grow up to be a bard.
You tell your own daughter stories,
She’ll get some dice of her own one day.
They can trademark the name all they like,
It’s all ripped-off Tolkien anyway.
Cause dragons and dungeons go back,
They go back a long, long way.
(They won’t go away)
They won’t go away.
(Meet you by the Art room door)
In a circle on the hallway floor.
I made up a new map last night,
It’s got a dragon and a wizard fight!
Once the ranger and the thief get here, we can lock the door
Shut the noise out from the yard,
Then we can let down our guard
You grow up to be a bard…
