Miss Lucy Had a Modem (to the tune of "Miss Lucy")

Miss Lucy had a modem
She got it from Ma Bell
Miss Lucy went to ARPAnet
The modem went to Hell--
--o Bitnet mainframe

Give me a slice of time
And if you disconnect me
I'll surge your power line--
--printers not working

Disk drives all have crashed
Heaps and stacks and VAX attacks
Lined up to kick my ASS--
--CII no more packets

Telnet no more lines
If your programs crash
And your systems thrash
An abacus works fine! Received on 05/20/96
