What sorry sight, what wretch so poor
That encountered error 404!
If only you had clicked away
And saved it for a different day—
Alas, such dreams can be no more!
How shall you onwards fare from here?
How can you, when the dream you sought
And thro’ hours of online search had wrought
Such work, such toil, as ne’er you thought
Could fail you? Ah—the drear!
Go on, go on, you will not find
Whatever thing was on your mind
On this forsaken page. But hold—
Perhaps, a little search avails,
Perhaps your quarry yet be trail’d,
Perhaps another page here veils
The thing for which you seek…
I mean, you never know.
