The Geek's Raven
[An excerpt, with thanks to Marcus Bales]

Once upon a midnight dreary,
fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bedsheets,
Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets:
Having reached the bottom line,
I took a floppy from the drawer.
Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command
But got instead a reprimand: it read "Abort, Retry, Ignore".

Erwin's song

I Whilst twilight shifts the blackened shore, To distant, wandering, sun-drenched gore, And hellish songs bestrew the wind, Within visions of goblins and demons and sin, I wandered along through evil and strife, And plunged myself into all that was rife With that wretched cadaver -- Mankind and his life! II He lied, he stole, he killed, he raped, His eyes aflame, his jaws agape, And all the while, his victims could see, His childlike face alight with glee! III 'Tis Erwin's song, we see, and hear! It's all we know, it's all we fear, Our lives are lived, we're all in thrall, We sing the song, we heed the call. For Erwin are our lives so long, It's all to hearken to Erwin's song. IV For Erwin loves the knives that sheen, He loves the blade, the bullet, he's mean! Erwin sees the bloodied forms, Exploding out of blackened dorms, When sugar-sweet Semtex sprays their charms, For terrorists' glorious grand alarums! V The date is set for all to see, When all are bound by Erwin's fee, To pay to Erwin what is due, In pain and suffering, yet, it's true, You can't escape your fate my friend, Erwin owns you in the end!
