Les Bizarrables

JAFERRE:
There, out on the network,
An editor's running.
Following up.
Following up.
Shoddy and witless!
They never will yield
Or but slacken their pace!
Or but slacken their pace!
They know the point and the click.
But mine is the way with the words!
And those who follow the PATH of the C-shell
Shall be Ubernerds!
And if they fall
As Carasso fell,
The flames,
The Kurds!
Posts... in your multitudes
Scarce to be counted,
Filling the ether
With millions of bytes.
You're inescapable,
Endless and vast,
Keeping me up at nights!
Keeping me up at nights!
You know your way through the Net.
You know your routers by name.
And each in your travels
Repeats and repeats,
And is always the same.
And if you're harmed
By flooding or droughts,
The Net re-routes!
And so it has been, and so it is written
At the on-ramp to Paradise
That those who enter had best be sure
They ponder twice!
Lord, let me find him
That I may see him
Carved into roasts!
I shall never rest
Till then, this I swear!
This I swear by the posts!
