Where I've been? An Ode to Comcast

The Bottom Line HOOK ME UP!

My modem's light is blinking now;
I can't seem to connect.
I unplug, repair; reboot for naught,
and so I call a tech.

"The first appointment that I have...
is in one week." he croaked.
No internet for 7 days?
This has to be a joke.

He showed up after 7 days;
he clipped and "fixed" the line.
"You're good to go." he said, and left.
Now it's Epinions time.

It's been 30 minutes since he left;
my cable light is flashing.
"Why the hell can't I connect?"
Was the question I kept asking.

Once again I'm on the phone;
I'm told my modems faulty.
"I'll have to send a tech.", she says.
I'm starting to get salty.

It's been 2 weeks without the net;
the tech-guy switches modems.
It only works for half an hour;
I should kick him in the scrotum.

Now I'm pizzed, and on the phone;
"Sir, I'll have to send a tech."
"If it's not fixed this time," I yell
"I'll break the next tech's neck!"

In 3 more days the tech will come;
he'll make the next decision.
If you don't hear from me next week,
I'll most likely be in prison.
