Gershon Wolf Poet Light Verse

Notes About The Poem

My Internet was up and down today, like the stock market!...

The Internet's Down

So, the Internet's down
  Why the frown??
As my friends predicted
  I'm totally addicted

I could read a book
  yet I sit here and pout
'Cos what I want
  is currently out

Hey, I'll call a friend --  
  Hm. Their lines are all busy
I'm thinking Ben must be home
  The question is: Is he?

OK! Alright! Enough is enough!
  What's happened to me?
  I used to be tough
Ready: I'm steeling myself now. Grrrr...
  ~ Guess there's no iron in creampuffs!

Harry Horsman July 1, 2020 at 3:34 AM Wow, Love the frustration, Gershon, a poem to include so many of us, when the net is down.... Gershon Wolf July 1, 2020 at 4:17 PM Scary how dependent I've become on an electronic gadget. Then again, I take too many pills as well... And so it goes... Thanks, Harry!

Judy Ball June 30, 2020 at 11:02 PM That's what happens when we get used to the pc. We can't function without it. A fun and timely read my friend. God Bless, JB Gershon Wolf July 1, 2020 at 4:14 PM Thank you, JB... Actually I'm not quite that addicted. I did find something else to do... But it sure wasn't 'automatic,' like it would have been just a couple of years ago. Cheers, Gershon
