I am discouraged; my joyfulness flees
As I must abandon a possible lead
I thought myself smarter than all of the rest
But I jumped the gun when put to the test
I heard word of the trials, I thought, "Oh, what fun!"
"But others are slacking, they haven't begun!"
A clue, I did see; or I thought so, at least
A colon, an O, a parenthesis
I thought, "This must mean something, this symbol I see!
But where could it go, and what could it mean?"
As I sat and I wondered about what to do,
I remembered the website for DashCon Two
"That's got to be it," I thought, "I've got it down!"
So at the end of the link, I added a clown
"www.dashcontwo.com/:o)/"
And right to the clowns, I did go
However, what I didn't know
Was the parenthesis
And the colon did flee,
So the website just saw the "o"
When I first saw the clowns, I thought myself elite
When in truth, I was just using autocomplete
I discovered my error after quite some time
It embarrasses me deeply, even now in rhyme
The lesson to learn, and take it from me,
Is the trials are certainly not for the weak
