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

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!

I always say "if the internet gets terrorized and goes down during this pandemic, there will be real H to live with."

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!

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

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
