April 10, 2009 - Little hardware problem, big hardware solution

In pursuit of department security

Old equipment’s disposed of with surety.

But the fish almost flipped

When the screw heads were stripped

 ‘Til a backhoe smashed it to obscurity


April 9, 2009 - That's not how it works

In the south when the internet’s down,
Users everywhere sported a frown.
“Down here everything’s warm.

Bonus rhyme after watching syndicated television last night:

After yesterday’s Six O’clock News
Came a thought that some day I could use.
It would seem to appear
I could get a career
One day writing some Jeopardy! clues.

The reason for this was the fact that on last night's Jeopardy! show, there was a category in the first round called "There Once Was a Man From..." where the answers were in the form of a limerick.


April 8, 2009 - Because that's what we've always done

It’s a race and I know that I’m in it.
There’s a job and I have to begin it.
Though my task list I heeded,
That job is not needed.
I broke the tape, I guess I win it!


April 7, 2009 - Oops!

When the servers in our corporation
Both had crashed, it was quite a sensation.
For below and above
There’s a massive case of
Condensation formation frustration.


April 6, 2009 - Step 1: Make sure you have performed Step 0

When I got there, the tension was rife.
You could cut all the stress with a knife.
When I went to confirm,
I had found that the term-
inal switch would soon give them whole life.
