It’s two long decades ago,
I called ATT toads…
said, “I want DSL soon.”
They told me, “No problem, bro!”
Started bad and then got worse.
It turned out that the goons
so lied…stuck with lie-ply spin.

The CO* was downtown;
the signal really wouldn’t go
all the way to the room…
office on the second floor.
The salesperson had conned me…
Web access, a dead end.
So I’s stuck with lie-ply spin.

So I sought another team
with systems that could take
me to a good connection.
Found one…then a bad break.
They, too, went down, and I was back
to dialup, and it blew!
Seemed I just had no way to win.

I was steeped in steaming choler,
but then I had good luck
after my years in the fray…
something that didn’t suck.
Internet’s now my domain…
speeds in megabits.
Now I have WiFi; finally—a win!
