I Can't Connect to the Internet

It was a horrible feeling.

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
