Unseen Misfortune

When we finally moved from our apartment to our new house,

It felt like a party that was just about to start.

Everyone was tired and irritated because of the small, cramped space,

And we knew that this house would be our final official break.

I packed away my things, waiting for this day to come,

Now I'm just hoping I didn’t lose some.

We moved in quickly, and having hauled in everything,

My mom was so happy I thought she would sing

Just as I thought that life was all set,

I suddenly realized that there was no internet.
