"I just received this from someone and even though I enjoy books AND the internet, I thought I would attempt to add some humor today !! Cece" _http://www.shibumi.org/EotI/_ (http://www.shibumi.org/EotI/) This really is the saddest news There's nowhere left to air my views. What a tragic end to all things cyber I'm made redundant, an unsubscriber. My Internet world at the end of its tether Our Cyber friends no longer together, We are cast asunder, put out to grass With little to do and time to pass. I find time to reflect on life before When going out just wasn't a chore. With weekend raves and clubbing nightly But that all went and quite rightly When Gates opened up to a wider world And the global curtain finally furled Distance and time now surplus factors As we became the faceless actors On the greatest stage in myth or history Imposing ourselves in a play of mystery Free to act out any dreamed of roles With keyboard makeup to hide “our souls” To be Einstein, Madonna or even yourself Wise man, warrior or wicked Wicklow elf But with this news it has finally ended Microsoft's net now fully expended Forever lost it its very own web A very last breath, a final ebb What can I do? But bid adieu. So much time with little do Watching a tele with little to view Read a book with little learn Listen to the wife with little concern My reason for living in partial collapse I could consider alternatives perhaps There's always comfort in the Miner's Arms Consolation in Guinness and a barmaid's charms. (not suggesting the barmaid is a miner by the way, and no intentional offence to Wicklow pixies)
