A Y TOO KAY POEM FOR CK

by mph

You asked me to create a verse
about this Y Too Kay,
despite the fact I'm uninformed---
non-techie all the way.

This project could be quite a pain
to someone who's defiant.
But since you asked so nicely
I'll be Y2K compliant.

First, as I understand it
the whole problem's just a bug,
a remnant from the sixties,
that era of free love.

It's probably borne of smoking
far too much of that MJ.
A 12 step program's just the thing,
enrol it in NA.

If the bug's a cricket,
it should be a snap to fix
cause you're a guy who's able
in the art of 86.

Just listen for the clicking
and attack it with your mouse.
Before you know it, no more bugs
are living in your house.<g>

If the bug's a virus, then
perhaps bed rest will kill it.
It's a better place to wait it out
than a home-made country billet.

But you say it lives in programs
that inhabit my computer.
If so, I guess it won't be cured
by calling Roto-Rooter.

You've also told me people
out of fear and shock are numb
because of what this bug might do
in the millennium.

The best idea I have seen
to end such angst and pain
is filling up the larders
with cases of champagne.

It might not cure the Y2 bug,
or even end this scare,
but if you drink enough of it,
you probably won't care.
