June 28 - July 2, 2010

July 2, 2010 - Harder than it looks, apparently

To bring the code back to compliance
I sought help from one of our clients.
“Where’s the underscore key?”
“It’s right there! Can’t you see?”
It’s typing! It’s not rocket science!

M*A*S*H rhyme

Fans of M*A*S*H ranging far and beyond
Have a scene of which they’re really fond.
It’s the part of the show
Where the guys had to know
Whether Hot Lips was really a blonde.


July 1, 2010 - I think we've found number two and three

“You’ve got weaknesses. Give me just three.”
He’s got one. He views lots of TV.
I then gave my perspective
With folks introspective.
He’s seen them all on A&E.


June 30, 2010 - Spoilsport!

At the Army base, it’s quite a battle.
Now the contractor’s telling me that I’ll
Be a new account geek.
I am now up a creek
But I haven’t been issued a paddle.

Version 2

At the Army base, it’s quite a battle.
Now the contractor’s telling me that I’ll
Need to follow their schtick.
I am now up a creek
But I haven’t been issued a paddle.


June 29, 2010 - When better isn't better

As our system was showing its chops,
We had thought we’d be earning their props.
But their suits had their doubts.
Have them still run their routes.
Just don’t take time to make any stops.

Version 2

As our system was showing its chops,
We had thought we’d be earning their props.
"We've our doubts," said the suits.
Have them still run their routes.
Just don’t take time to make any stops.


June 28, 2010 - If only clearing out a full drive were this easy

There’s no cooling? It should be explained.
The conditioner we had obtained
Had a card marked “Remove.”
When we did, things improved.
Before then, it had left us all drained.

Bonus Rhyme

“As the stories about the bizarre go,
It’s a doozy!” I told my friend Margo.
It was then I avowed
That just like Frank McCloud
I should take a week off in Key Largo.

I will admit that I have never seen a Humphrey Bogart movie. Thank God for Wikipedia!
