This Time I’ll Rhyme
I spent yesterday thinking a way,
To finish this assignment in half a day;
Somewhere in between my mind slipped away,
And now I’m stuck here the entire day.
My thoughts are empty, my eyes feel heavy,
My nemesis is sucking my blood without pity;
How foolish! He rejected the truce,
And died by the hand of my friend Bruce.
Don’t get me wrong, my brain didn’t fuse,
My bug shocker isn’t named Bruce;
But my poetic skills, or lack thereof,
Forces me sometimes, to use words that are off.
I hate many things in this darned life,
With my ISP at the top of the hive;
Substandard services at exorbitant prices,
And a host of gloomy staff to offer their services.
TMNut, TMNet, when will you learn,
That everyone wants you to burn in an urn;
88 bucks is no child’s play,
If this is your best, please go away.
Double digits you put as your price,
While elsewhere it’s double the speed at half the price;
What’s with the 88’s and 66’s?
The slow connection is making me sick.
Different packages, different speeds,
1 Mbps, that what you need?
1Mb, 2Mb; looks the same to me,
It’s just slow speeds at a different fee.
Frequent disconnects come with the package,
And somehow, someway, customer service’s eternally engaged;
And good luck to us all whenever it rains,
The connection is doomed to the drains.
Substandard modems from substandard suppliers,
Substandard cables and modem adapters;
Sometimes I wonder why it’s Streamyx,
I think a better name would be Substandyx.
Don’t even wish for live video streaming,
The ‘x’ after Streamyx means no streaming;
Forget Youtube, forget Quicktime,
‘Coz in the end, it’s a waste of time.
"To prevent piracy!" is what they say,
To limit our bandwidth to the point of dismay;
To keep people off copyrighted files,
When in their homes, the DVD’s pile.
Shucks, crap- it’s one-thirty,
It’s hot and humid and I feel dirty;
Guess it’s time for a muddy shower,
… Don’t get me started on Indah Water.
