Ode to The Bobbits There once was a Bobbitt named John Who thaught he was quite the Don Juan His wife disagreed So the next time he wee'd John couldn't locate his wand. Lorena wished John could be nicer But he wasn't much of a de-icer If she finds a new spouse Let us hope he's no louse Or we might have our first serial slicer. A surgeon was filled with great tension Trying to sew on a thing we can't mention He stitched and he sewed Used all the skills that he knowed But the wee thing won't stand at attention. John Bobbitt was never a loner In fact, he was known as a roamer His wife seized his prize And cut him to size Now he is his own organ donor. There once was a crime most venal One might say 'twas inches from renal It wasn't for sport That she made him so short Her intentions were nothing but penal. The Bobbitt case sure is a dilly Though it sounds a little bit silly He said she's the hacker Who lopped off his whacker She said she was trying to Free Willy.

Better think fast, better do what you can, Read the manual or call your system man, Don't want to fall behind in the race with Japan, So BOOT IT, Get the system manager to BOOT IT, BOOT IT, Even though you'd rather shoot it. Don't be upset, it's only some glitch. All that you do is flip a little switch. BOOT IT, BOOT IT, Get right down and restitute it. Don't get excited, all is not lost. CP/M, UNIX or MS/DOS Just BOOT IT, boot it, boot it, boot it... You gotta have your printout for the meeting at two, The system says your jobs at the head of the queue, Right then the thing dies but you know what to do, BOOT IT. You always get so worried when the system runs slow, And when it finally crashes, man you feel so low, But computers make mistakes (they're only human you know) So BOOT IT, Call the local guru to BOOT IT, BOOT IT, Go ahead re-institute it. If you're not lucky, get the book off the shelf, But if you are, it'll do it itself. BOOT IT, BOOT IT, Then go find the guy who screwed it! Operating systems are built to bounce back, Whether it's a Cray or a Radio Shack. BOOT IT! BOOT IT!
