If we don‘t change, those numbers won’t fit.
Include letters? Now that we’ll permit.
Won’t QC be surprised
If one day they’re advised
That our factory’s sending out …?
When an aide from a large corporation
Called to vent to me ‘bout her workstation,
I thought, “She pays her bills
Not with terminal skills,
But the way that she ‘takes down dictation.’”
“You’ve got problems,” the help ticket said.
“You send mail new servers will shred.”
Okay, swap out Exchange.
When the systems act strange
We should know from the mail that’s dead.
“We can make our site ever so keen
If we migrate each hosting machine.”

“Don’t worry! Moreover,
You bug me! You know what I mean?”

We’re offline for a day.
But each month save ten K
Which would just about fund his promotion.
Most solutions I have, I exhaust
When the caller’s connection is lost.
I say, “Don’t be a rube
When you hook up your cube.
You should make sure your eyes are not crossed.”
