Internet Down

Internet down

I rose early in the morning

My day all planed ahead

But as it turned out

I should have stayed in bed.

I had club computers to update

Emails to send and students to ring

But the Internet was not working

So I couldn’t do a thing.

I tried turning off the modem

And then turning it on again

But still the Internet stayed off

This really was a pain.

I though I will ring my IT brother

He will know exactly what to do

So rushed to ring only to find

That the phone line was dead too.

So I went to use the landline

And even then I couldn’t get through

A voice said that all the line were clogged

So now what am I to do?

I thought while I am waiting

I could ring my students to fill in time

Their phone numbers were on Google Docs

And I was not on line.

 

I finally got through to my brother

Of cause he was not at home

So I left him an urgent message

My Internet is down, please phone.

When my bro finally rang me

 We tested my gear and it worked fine

He then found out from my provider

That someone had cut their line.

It was a fibre optic cable

Which they were trying to repair

Now it’s day two, I’m still off line

And nearly pulling out my hair.

So now no computers are updated

Emails not read or sent

Cannot see my Facebook friends

Please bring back my Internet.

How did we organise our lives

Before all this technology came to town

At least we never got in such a twist

                                                Because the Internet was down.
