The Internet Lament

Oh, where have you gone,
Keeper of my surfboard,
The owner of mine mouse,
The storage of my hoard?

Oh, why have you left me,
To wander alone
And cry out in sorrow
At now lost I did own?

You vacated my screen!
The void is pitch black!
I cannot go on!
ICQ do I lack!

Oh, where are the e-mails,
The messages here?
Oh, why do the boards
So silently leer?

IE cannot help me!
I try, though, with fervor!
No network detected--
It "cannot find server"!

I cry out in terror--
No sites do I see!
I've lost my few friends
Over mIRC!

Oh, when will it end,
The silence bestowed?
'Til great time once more
When the webpages load!
