WWW

Constant input leads to overload;
Slow output leads to backup, just as much.
The internet is like the open road,
But it's a one lane highway, and as such,
A little inconvenience can become
An utter traffic jam, and make men curse
Who had been choirboys. It seems so dumb,
But every slowdown seems to just get worse
Because the speed increases in between;
A jam at 20 is a minor fret;
At 80, you get angry and careen
From violence to tears. Now, any let
Becomes a cause for histrionic cries,
Woeful despair, excitable surmise.
