‘Twas another day on The ‘Net
The Surfers wasted time as the traffic flowed
Naked people camped out on chat roulette
And the uplinks had a nominal load.

“Beware the Calls of March have begun
The customers who whine, the consultants who lie…
Beware the shoddy DSL lines and shun
the exhausting Minnesota good-bye”

So he took his trusty tone tool in hand
Long time the proper punchdown he sought
And rested he reading the wiring tree,
and stood a while in thought

And while in uffish thought he stood
The router null routed on the uplink port
For the routing table was not understood
And they all called tech support

One two one two and through and through
The young lad optimized the ACLs
He simultaneously enacted a code review
within half a dozen shells

Hast thou reinitiated the dead throughput?
Take a ten minute break and drink some ‘Dew!
Hopefully there’s no more glitches afoot!
And the proper traffic will pass through.
