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
