Student's Ode to the Internet

This morning, I was reminded again of how much I love the internet (reading other posts, you may have noticed my love of internet-related technology). So, I thought I would do what people in love do: write an ode.

Unfortunately, I don't really know how to write an ode. What is the structure? Must it rhyme (I'm really terrible at rhyming)? But, I do remember my 5th grade Language Arts unit on poetry, so I think I can handle the situation. Instead of writing a traditional ode, I'm going to play to my strong suit and write a series of haikus.

'Net, how I love thee

Swifter than a winter breeze

Well... not dial-up

The joy of wi-fi

Online anywhere I want.

Look, Ma! No more cords!

Making research quick,

Databases and archives

All while I'm at home.

Wikipedia.

Is there anything better?

Hrm, maybe Google?

It brings us Blackboard.

Who am I kidding? That sucks.

No one likes Blackboard.

PDFs and Docs,

Shared instantly by email.

Gotta save them trees.

Where would we all be,

Without the wonderful web?

In the library.
