The 404 Page.

You have arrived here in error. Here’s a poem. You’re welcome.

Long before the Large Hadron Collider
Became CERN’s calling card of sorts
A young British man of sizable smarts
Walked into a French lab, with a hypertext heart

 

Tim-Berners Lee, the internet’s idea man
Couldn’t have seen the endless array of sites
But one big thing he clearly prepared for
Was what might happen if a link breaks or dies

 

There are 404 reasons you might see this page
But the biggest one helped Tim set the stage
For you to enter the door
Even if you got there by mistake.

 

Welcome to CERN room 404.
