More Half-Assed Doggerel

This Would Be Funnier If I Really Gave A Damn...

In Houston Town did Mayor White
a Wireless broadband net decree
where Buffalo Bayou ooz-ed
through bridges measureless to man
down to the oily sea.

So six hundred square miles of marshy tree
Twere to be festooned with Earthlink gold
And streetlight poles sprouted antennae bold
to channel Wi-fi porn to me and thee,
And...

Well, you get the point. Largest municipal broadband network so far, they're saying. $10 a month if you're a member of the 40,000 "underprivileged" class Earthlink agreed to, a bit more for everyone else.

Bah, I'm sticking with my cable modem.
