No Internet Connection

I Can’t Connect to the Internet By Elton Camp When I got home from having been gone all day, It’s into my office to see what e-mail has to say The Internet Explorer icon I give the usual click However, it doesn’t accomplish the expected trick In annoyance, “Oh my goodness! What the heck?” Then I give all the connections a thorough check But, all seems to be as it was just the day before Somehow, I can’t connect to the Internet anymore Frustrated and angry is how it made me feel I said, “Oh man, this surely can’t be for real.” I can’t check on the popularity of my new write And, even worse, I can’t Google a thing all night.” Into some electronic oblivion I felt I’d been hurled Because I was effectively cut off from all the world I began to think of the things I might well need to do Then thought the most simple explanation’s often true I then made a functional check of the television set And found that not even a single channel could I get When I made that shocking discovery, then I was able To know that the trouble lay in the television cable So, out to the back yard I went, beaming a flashlight And there on the ground was a most distressing sight The black television cable was the thing I had found All twisted and broken and most of it on the ground
