Hi there guys I’m back on line
To me, it feels like a very long time
Since last I read your rhymes and news-
Without your words I have had the blues
For two whole weeks we’ve been off line
The story’s not too easy to rhyme
But it all began when our wannabee techy
Thought he’d surprise us with ADSL2
(Instead of 1), which kind of threw me
Just when I thought, we were plain sailing
After our woes with our router failing.
Today we’re back on line again
It’s true, it’s faster, but it’s been a pain
First the line was thought to blame
But that was fixed, and still the same-
No internet would come our way
No-one could fix it day after day
So yet another modem was bought
And then we waited for some odd sort
Of switch they said still had to be thrown
At some location that was far from home.
So now it seems we’re back on air
In some ways I liked it, to be fair
Because I played much more guitar
But sadly, I’m not yet a star.
My inbox groans with all the mail
I have to answer or toss in the pail
For days I’ll have to sort things out
But, in one department there is no doubt-
My mood has lifted high already
Reading through the posts from Kenny
Chris, and Knight, Aunt Doty and Eddie.
For two whole weeks I have not rhymed
A single thought, so now I’m primed
To try to write some songs, I hope
As with my emails, I try to cope.
Right now, I’m smiling ear to ear
To be back home, with friends so dear
I sure have missed you lot, it’s true
And no need now, for feeling blue.
One good thing about music is that when it hits you, you feel no pain - Bob Marley
