"These Are a Few of the Network-Bit Things"

Just a few lyrics I tossed together... during a May morning network outage.... Sung to the tune of "The Sound of Music" "My Favourite Things".

"These Are a Few of the Network-Bit Things"

Line drops, bad poses, and flickers on screenings;
Poor user stepguides and bad system meanings;
User agreements surrounded by strings:
These are a few of the network git things....
 
Red-coloured warnings and hints that are futile;
No bells, no hand bells, no giggles with Googles;
Messages fly... or so it would seem:
These are a few of the network pit things....
 
"URLs" are addresses with silly backslashes;
Errors cause tears on my nose and eyelashes;
A system request that hangs until spring:
These are a few of the network fit things....
 
When the crash bites, when the loss stings...
Then I'm feeling mad....
I try to remember the network jit things
and wished I had used... my... pad!...
 
Fix drops in doses and whispers of quittings;
Blight copper nettles and form-stealing... Bitten!
"New software packages" promises stings...
These are a few of the network nit things....
 
Poor-coloured workbooks and lame Office doodles;
"So swell!"  Oh... oh well, and data's gone toodles;
Estimates fly with nobody thinking...
These are a few of the network-bit things....
 
System addresses with blue screens of gashes;
Code flakes that stay...  Who knows and who catches?
New bugs abound like programmer flings...
These are a few of the network kit things....
 
When the time's tight, when power flings...
"Save", I'm wishing, had...
I simply remember the network quits things,
And then I do feel... SO bad!!!!!!
