For the second day in a row today, mail service is down

(Can't get in there at all ... and that's caused some frowns)
Just tells me to log in again - I do, and get the same error
Something about the log-in having failed ... striking terror

Wish I knew how I could possibly get around the problem
Since a failed log-in prevents access to help-screens, then
And the past two years of mail kept there in the account ...
Now is just a faded memory of words exchanged about ...

Problems encountered accessing mail and other things
Along with a few friendly ones to make some bells ring
As well as web-stakes updates and personal ad responses
Some have value, but others are just notes from sponsors

Still ... all of it was in an active mail account, that's undenied
Supposedly it was there to last for the entire rest of my life ...
Now that account has just evaporated - gone with the wind ...
Leaving me to wonder why ... and how I can now rescind ...

- Tristram
