Once upon a midnight dreary,
fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high
and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bedsheets, Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets:

Having reached the bottom line, I took a floppy from the drawer.
Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command,
But got instead a reprimand: it read

"Abort, Retry, Ignore" . . .

Ignore..

Due to a temporal flux in my cerebral cortex, a suggestion from my subconcious changed the letters in "Fail" to what you see above.

A crude but simple attempt from what used to be my brain stem to get me off the chair and into bed.

Now my fone plays the theme from Pink Panther..
