   I surf the net
so happily
   I chat with friends
and family
   I find sites where
I express myself.
   And some that just
disgust myself.

   AND THEN

I get da boot.

   Frustration screams from
every pore.
   I want to throw this
thing right out the door.
   Good thing theres no
reconnection fees
   As I hit these keys
so frantically.

   AND THEN

I get da boot.

   I sigh as that
sound rings out
   Its the modem connecting
without a doubt
   My pager comes up
I shout with glee.
   I'm in I'm in oh
joy...whoopee.

   AND THEN
    OH NO
   NOT AGAIN
    OH NO

I get da boot
  



never say never

Are we a little frustrated or what?  I know the feeling well and it is a shame that we have to deal with this in this day and age.  It's a good thing that we have things like Passions to make it all worth while.

Frustrating to say the least, I know what you mean but you always come back and I'm glad you do. This is a very well done issues poem.
Well written my friend!
