Depending on how you pronounce SQL
S-Q-L
PL/SQL: that's what's required.
To three Fortran guys, that's not desired.
Even though I insisted,
Those three just resisted.
Until they found out they were fired.

PL/SQL: that's what we've required.
To three Fortran guys, that's not desired.
Even though I insisted,
Those three just resisted.
Until they found out they were fired.
Though the power-up test ran so ducky,
This emergency, things were just yucky.
When I'd count up to twelve
I could smile to myself,
But we all know that thirteen's unlucky.
Late at night, when the database stops.
In the fish goes, repairing the ops.
"What if you just don't show?"
"Not an option. You know
What goes down when one disobeys cops."
Their recruiter has got us annoyed!!!
Calls us up to fill some kind of void!!!
When he looks for a match,
Who might be a good catch?
How 'bout someone already employed?
Things for sure didn't go quite to plan
In the vulnerability scan.
Said both teams, "It's not us!"
It sure raised such a fuss
In a way only Murphy's law can.
What the fish did was really astute
When his company threatened a boot.
What he needs, they won't train?
A new job he'll obtain
From the threat of a well-fitting suit.
The fish opened the closet, revealing
A huge mess that would send his head reeling.
While that mess he'd explore,
"That, I've fixed it before -
There's this modem you shake in the ceiling."
Boy, that network tech really did suck.
He just got a new offer? What luck!!!
He's not what they required?
He's not gonna get hired?
He wants to come back? Nope - he's stuck!
All that rock had one techie delighted.
Oh, that music! We soon had to fight it!
After battling Ozzy,
One guy's seeing fuzzy.
I hope that he's only near-sighted.
"I can't save my code!!! How can that be?!?"
There's a sign that the prof wouldn't see.
I resisted an itch
To say "Karma's a bitch."
Because strangely enough, so was she.
Said the user - I think he's a clerk.
"I hope I am not being a jerk.
Your net filter's not right
This last Saturday night."
That's for techies stuck weekends at work.
Today's Fred was a teammate oppressor.
Of co-workers, he always spoke lesser.
This would cause lots of stress.
It would sure be my guess
That his ex was a Cobol professor.
At the project, security's drilled.
After storms, now the room isn't chilled.
"That's no problem," you'd scoff.
How'd we cool the room off?
I could say, then you'd have to be killed.
Your computer won't power up? Damn!
Is the H2O blue in the can?
Why'd the juice go away?
What I'm tempted to say:
'Cause the culprit's the Tidy-Bowl Man!
All us admins don't know what to do.
We all wonder, "Will Sharky come to?"
When we check on the site,
We think something's not right.
Just like yesterday's water, we're blue.
When he fixed what was under the hood,
Was his boss impressed? No, though he should.
A good question I raise:
When's the fish getting praised?
When he's making his boss look so good.
There's a door to stop those who'd intrude.
But a feature about it I viewed.
With its hinge pins outside,
With a driver, some guy'd
Have potential of us getting screwed.
A new project - I'd like one much faster.
If I left, it's a staffing disaster.
It would make my head throb.
But I've now got the job
From a friend who's now getting his masters.
The department of Fred was quite
leery.
Until Barney, of Fred, had grown weary.
Ultimatums he'd say.
Fred was canned on that day.
That's the plot of the last "Big Bang Theory."
She sends mail to herself? My teeth gnash!
Cause my palm to my head give a bash.
Give the user her due:
She's not one of those who
Tends to save all her mail in the Trash.
