Internet Woes

Gremlins, that’s what the technician said…
Faulty technology is what I dread!
Glitches untold are hidden by moguls’ gold.
But they should correct what the masses are sold.
What would it take?
What could we make?
In a day, in an hour,
Working with reliable power…
As more work goes online,
We’re told all will be fine.
But the internet’s down.
And the gremlins think I’m a clown.
With plenty of time 
To ponder a rhyme.
Then at the end of the day,
All the gremlins will say,
“Oh, what a thrill we have had…
Sorry! Our bad…”

Gremlins = reason to grumble.

Thanks Gershon, this is certainly what the RAF thought when they started using the term. Oddly, our neighbor's service with the same company, works well. So, we just blame it on the lively, naughty sprites.
