This little poem details the struggles and triumphs involved when someone sets out to create their first web site.
Twas a beatiful day when I sat down to start

Creating a homepage that came from my heart

I gathered some things that I thought would amuse

And found lots of links that I hoped all would use

I turned on the 'puter and started to type

Then I started to cuss and I started to gripe

So I read all the books and I surfed on the net

For any assistance or clue I could get

I learned most of the tags and a few of the tricks

I found all the shareware I downloaded gifs

The sun set and rose the days passed me by

If children can do this then why couldn't I?

I gave up on eating, forgot about sleep

The phone went unanswered I was in it too deep

I tried and I err'd and at last I could see

My word up on Netscape - God bless FTP!

I'm all out of coffee, now eating the grounds

My cigarette butts are now mountainous mounds

But I know it was worth all the trouble it took

'Cause you came and you saw and you'll sign my guestbook!
