Creative Challenge to kick off the new year

[Gruntled]

It's new year's day, and people all over will be crafting lists of things they plan to do in the coming year for personal edification (most of which will be thrown by the wayside before we even hit February).

Instead of asking what everyone is resolving for the year, I thought I'd challenge your hangover-laden dendrites to a challenge:

A Linux- (or even distro-) related haiku.

I'll start the bidding with the one I wrote while in the datacenter just a few short minutes ago...

The Webhost Admin's Haiku

Server hums, whirs, clicks.
See LiLo, prompt, Check network.
Flow of web restored.

Is there money involved?
Comtux wakes one morning with a spark of life
desides to kick of the newyear with a knife!
Grabes BILL by the throat just to make sure he is ripe as
he puts that dagger between his ! <-----Well you get the point.
Wait was this suppose to be about linux?

[Gruntled]

Well, taking Bill out might qualify it as "about Linux" in many circles...

psst.

I think a haiku is supposed to be in the following form:

5 syllables
7 syllables
5 syllables

As in:
*nix is new to me
There is so much I can see
cause I have source tree

psst...
you can't count ;p
cause I have new source tree <---- count the syllables again

I haven't the slightest idea of what you're talking about.



Well, you're right, but the overall principle is still valid. It's like a standard, it describes how it's supposed to be, but nobody actually abides by it.

Gone from bard to verse here.
