due to the modem not
functioning perfectly well
gaining access to the 
internet hasn't been swell

break downs in communications 
are never good 
one can't contact the world's 
vast neighbourhood 

friends and family were 
waiting for my linkage 
but I couldn't see their 
social networking page 

the modem didn't co-operate 
via its connection 
on this Thursday I've 
made the needed correction 

a new one was installed
by Ian Giang and Co 
which has given me entrée 
into the web's mojo 

not having a working modem 
really is the pits 
one isn't able to view 
a computer's tid-bits
