All together now...

The fashion for satirical ditties continues unabated...

(Who wants to be a millionaire?)

Who'd like a link that's proxy-free?
I would!
To utilise VoIP?
I would!
Can I view pictures on display in FlickR
And reunite friends
Who are scattered afar?

Who'd like to share a video?
I would!
Then to YouTube I ought to go!
I would,
But sites are blocked by my ISP;
They would!
They're playing the game 'Monopoly'.


Who wants to download some email
I do!
At a pace faster than a snail?
I do!
Doesn't seem likely in this dry desert land,
And that's even though
I paid for broadband.

When I think it can get no worse,
I do
Oft use bad language, swear and curse,
I do.
Can competition cure all my woes?
Aye, Du
Has got to be better, I suppose.

To the tune of "Who Wants to be A Millionaire", from the film High Society

ah thanks Mme Cyn - that's better - once you know the rhythm, it's easier to sing along to!

Thank you for the feedback. I've now posted the reference to the tune.

to browse youtube, put in a '3' after the www of the url and you're good to go

funnily enough, I'd never heard of it until they 'banned' it.
