A tribute to that Internet thingy.
I love that Internet voodoo
that pile of wires and things
that lets us stay connected
and keeps us entertained.
It ties the world together
like economies these days
it's magic either good or bad
information cuts both ways.
It went down the other day
and it wasn't out that long
the maintenance guy
was at the outside box
and he did something wrong.
I watched him like a tiger
from inside my gilded cage
I was pacing my perimeter
like a predator engaged.
I screamed helpful, timely updates
he seemed a clueless clown
and I was ready to go block
his truck if he tried to leave
while we were still down.
He finally got the thingy fixed
my sweet prince of restoration
I laughed out loud to see the lights
then I gave him a standing ovation.
Without the Internet I'd go crazy
and it wouldn't take that long
after months of dull isolation
it's helped us all stay strong.
p.s. I write short stories too =]
