All day long yesterday - could not get connected

(Created a little frustration and some perspective)

Finally found out some ports had been shadowed

Unnecessary complications ... the system allowed



All to do with missing cache, and making up in ways

Which overdid it all, and thus - created a few delays

... Finally had it all sorted it out at around midnight

But, by then - day was shot, and so - gave up the site



Better to write in the morning when all refreshed

For a good night's sleep can change outlook best

Now's the time to make up and maybe get ahead

For days to come will slow output more - I dread



So will take a day to write an even half-dozen

Thence will be two ahead, so I'll be buzzing ...
