An Ode to the Internet... Happy 40th Birthday!

In honor of the Internet's 40th Birthday today, I put together a little poem in its honor:
An Ode to the Internet

Oh wonderful Internet, how do I love thee?
Just let me count the ways...
I fear I could not live without you
For, with you, I start my days

Bright and early every morning
I log on to read the news
I check the weather forecast
And bluefly.com for sales on shoes

I mapquest all the places I'll go
I google my old boyfriend from high school
Then I update my status on Facebook
"Nicole is going to hang out by the pool"

I pay my bills through online bill pay
Plan a phantom vacation on Travelocity
I imagine myself an Amazon(.com) goddess
How I'd rule with such ferocity

I tweet out to my peeps on Twitter
And upload a cool video to YouTube
Update my bids on eBay
I so hope I win that antique Rubik's Cube.

I click through my friend's photos on Shutterfly
Hulu's my hero for reruns of The View
I download the latest version of iTunes
My "running" playlist could use something new

By now my coffee cup is empty
And my kids are demanding some food
So I shut down my laptop, just temporary
I know I'll be back before noon
