What would I do without the internet
I'd be so lost in this big world, and yet
For all those years it wasn't ours to be
And somehow managed life so easily
The world wide web, while in its infancy
Was something foreign - nothing there for me
Then, POW! Technology explosion blast!
The information highway grew so fast
I bought my first PC, it's name, HP
A URL? What this? - http//
Dot com, an address needed to begin
With AOL, my ISP - logged in
A username required, I had to choose
Who I would be known as; could not refuse
To be so cute and clever - sixteezkid!
With anonymity, I was well hid.
All fun and games at first, and nothing more
A lot of chat, I thought it such a bore
But, then came email, loved to hear that phrase
Of "You've Got Mail!" which soon became the craze!
Well, wouldn'cha know it - shopping through a wire
Who could have dreamt of buying one's attire
With icons clicked; my order is complete
So simple and it even prints receipt.
Ten billion hits an hour, an engine's mined
To search for gold; there's nothing one can't find
The net is huge ~ another universe.
I'm surfing now; this sea is so diverse!
And then one day I found a poem place
With pages full of words; I love this space!
It's name is called fanstory ~ a delight
A website where I'm learning how to write
