The Tangled Web

I'm caught up in the tangled web

That's called the Internet.

It eats my time and fries my brain

And makes me scream...and yet,

I'm learning a few basics

And slogging through the muck

And may create a website —

If there's such a thing as luck!

This online course I'm taking is a bigger bitch than me. And of course, it's because I'm ridiculously and embarrassingly web illiterate, so even the small stuff makes me sweat.

I'm working very hard to learn things that even kids today know almost intuitively, and all because I want to know how things work — at least a little bit — so I can join the e-commerce flood and maybe float some e-books into people's computers...for a price, of course.

But believe me, when I am making enough money to keep us in beans through our so-called retirement years, I'll be outsourcing, in a New York minute, the same shit I'm now struggling to master.
