The Wonders of Technology

I could not connect
to the internet
but the reason why
defied my intellect.

I followed the hints
of a computer geek
but to no avail,
it was all greek to me.

I checked connections,
changed the microfilter,
but the whole system
was still out of kilter.

The landline phone
was dead as well,
it had no dial tone.
I could make no calls.

Tried to find out
the cause from BT
but help was needed 
from my ISP.

With a cell phone
I called the helpline
expecting everything
would soon be fine.

For quite a while
I was thwarted
but eventually
the fault was sorted.

The net is back;
yet is not much use
while I was waiting
I lost my muse.
