This morning, went to one of my favorite vendor sites

But could not use the front door, no matter how I tried

Could only make it through to the Technical Help page

From which there were no links back to the full stage ...



No matter how many different ways I attempted to get in

There was just no way, for nothing provided any connection

Finally gave up, and went to yet another bookmarked site ...

But nothing there provided the information that was right ...



Navigating the Web suddenly took on a different pallor

For unhelpful error messages came at me in a gallop

So, I finally gave up, and have now committed to write

Relating my experience, which wasn't at all bright ...



Perhaps I should "Ask Jeeves" or The Mining Company

And find out what happened, and thus - how I can rectify

But no longer are the addresses available at all on this server

So, chances are - neither will produce any luck, whatsoever
