At the office where I used to work, home office our connection to the internet went down for a week.

Where is it?
Where did it go?
Sent Where?By Who?
Stephen King should write a novel
About e-mail that goes astray.
I'm sure it wanders all about
Looking for it's destined place.
It just sometimes loses its way
And wanders all about the Ethernet
Looking for its "send to" address
And all at the speed of its connection.
And now it is lost!
Gone to where ever lost e-mail goes.
We may hear from it again,
In future far away,
And wonder why we sent it
This little e-mail who lost its way.
Where is it?
Where did it go?
Sent Where?By Who?

This little e-mail who lost its way.

Where is it?

Where did it go?



I have often wondered about that myself. I once received an e-mail that was exactly one year old - to the day - from the day it had been sent. Where the heck was it hiding for a whole year??!!



And thanks for your comments about a northern sunset - you really should see one!

A humorous tone but nonetheless serious in theme since it is hard to think of oneself without access to the internet. Thank you, Ann. Welcome to AD. Love and peace to you,

So cute , Ann, with the many groups I've had and been in over the years, how many times someone and myself years ago would pump out that heart felt reply or over due rant and when I hit the send button it didn't filter to the group board, it was grabbed by that internet bandit itself. Often wondered where they really go....cute again. Lady J
