On the job haikus, limericks, and assorted poetry composed by staff members in ISC Networking & Telecommunications ..
In a small eastern town known as "Philly"
Where the winters were cool but not chilly
Every good boy and girl
learned to program in perl
and had "theme days" on which to act silly
There we could find these personas,
they worked hard and clearly were known as,
intelligent heroes
working with ones and zeros
biting limes and drinking Coronas
An old sysadmin known as Mark,
liked to race cars but hated to park
he could dump(8) and dd(1)
he could pipe(2) things through tee(1)
and he did his best work after dark
A webmistress there known as Yetter,
Spent long hours to make things work better,
she streamlined her code
she reduced system load
and then wrote each end user a letter
A top-notch producer, our Gates,
he could manage six jobs on three plates,
he'd produce a CD,
VHS, DVD,
or a live TV show on two dates
That's all that I wanted to say,
At least right now, here today.
I may write more verses
about my coworkers,
who do fabulous work while they play.
breathe in the vapors
who cares if it makes you feint?
it deepens your sleep.
-- Unknown
paint colors the air
breathing artfully draws in
invisible hues
-- Unknown
chairs crown in Do they
flee the fumes too? or do they
just crave company?

What profound verses!
A muse walks among the geeks
Who would have thought it?
-- Unknown
Out into the cold
Oxygen rich atmosphere
Brain cells escape death.
-- Unknown
it thought it was great:
"put the cake in the basket"
damn! trapped by baked goods
-- Diane Galeone (channelling Jame Gumb?)
