To, Enrico

Enrico Enrico,
How we wait for you.
In divine trance,
We gyrate for you.
'Coz you are our saviour
Our knight in shiniest armor.
You are the chosen one
Who has been given
The solemn task of saving us from
The terrible twin curses
Of disconnect and ignorance.
While the rest of the world
progresses in leaps and bounds
we sit here alone, waiting
we are done with the counting
of sheep, of goats even
Come Enrico, we're done grieving.
Save us dear Enrico
Free us from these invisible chains
Come dear Enrico
Salvage us with your experience.
Fix it for us, dear Enrico
Come use your divine talents
Or else, of what use will they be?
Come come dear Enrico,
Come fix the internet for me.

Background:
Enrico is my sister's internet-man. They wait and wait and wait for him. Then they wait some more for him to come and fix the internet for them. They stay in a beautiful and untouched part of the world I am not allowed to name. Internet, which is bread and butter in the rest of the world, is a luxury in this place. So waiting for Enrico is a game they often play, as do we-waiting for Enrico to come and fix the internet for them so that we can get in touch. :)
