The Crash of the Mudcat Server by Amos
(Tune: On Springfield Mountain)
In Pennsylvania, there did dwell
An NT Server, I knew well
This server's disks and RAM and FAT
were dedicated to the 'Cat.
Chorus:
O toory oory, reety-reet,
Escape, Control and Alt-Delete!
One day this server of the race
A single digit, did misplace
And in a register so deep
A hex code conflict soon did creep!
Chorus
This simple error, small and fine
Soon crashed the Cat's collective mind!
Dismay and grief did quickly spread!
And several Mudcats lost their heads
Brave Dave, the Canuck sailor bold
Upon his floor did quickly fold.
While lost to chat, our gentle Ann
Burned all the cookies in the pan!
Chorus
Joe Offer did his very best
To help dear Allison find a guest
While Max stayed up through half the night
Until the damn machine ran right
While Sorcha, sophocleese and Kat
Feared that they might be going bats
And Amos ran around the halls
Suffering symptoms of withdrawal!
Chorus
But now the Mudcat's back on line
And everything seems to be fine
One moral we can carry back!
If you must get hooked, please get a Mac!
Chorus
