Poems

Have you ever stopped and asked yourself,
why is it that we do this thing we call marketing?
We spend hours and hours each and every day pounding
on the keyboard keys and we think this is the one.
This will put me on easy street. Another dream that never came true.
We spend a week working ten, twelve hours a day completely
re-making our 150 page site and we sit back when it is all
done and admire our work. All the time thinking this is it
I should have done this long ago. Another dream that never
came true.
This Wonderful
thing we call the
World Wide Web
by Vern Anderson

We get to thinking, if I could only find that one program,
I know I will be standing in tall cotton. So we start
searching, all of a sudden, there it is. This person say's
he will make me rich in only three months, so we purchase.
Another dream that never came true.
So we get down in the dumps a little depressed, and out
of the wild blue yonder comes this email, asking have
you seen this yet? People are getting rich overnite.
So once again we take the hook. Another dream that never
came true.
Now we are really down and out and we vow to never again
be so stupid as to fall for some person lies and cheating.
After all we have been doing this for years, been there
done that and have the scars to prove it.
I guess the irony of this whole thing is that I have
worked all my life so one day I could retire and do
anything I wanted in my golden years. Guess what I
retired four years ago, and here I am pecking away
ten to twelve hours seven day's a week.
My wife thinks I have gone into my second childhood
and don't really realize what I am doing. Then there
is that dreaded end of the month, when the visa bill
arrives and my wife goes straight up and turns left.
Another dream that never came true.
And so it goes for the life of a person hooked on this
thing we call the world wide web.
