'Twas The Night Before Y2K

'Twas the night before Y2K and all through the nation,
We'd soon see the bug that caused such a sensation.

The chips were replaced in computers with care
In hopes that ol' bugsy wouldn't stop there.

While some folks could think they were snug in their beds,
Others had visions of dread in their heads.

And Ma with her PC, and I with my Mac,
Had just logged on the Net and kicked back with a snack.

When over the server there arose such a clatter,
I called Mister Gates to see what was the matter.

But he was away so I flew like a flash
Off to my bank to withdraw all my cash.

Then word of the shortage caused such a demand
That the money was gone and the streets were all jammed.

When what with my wondering eyes should I see on my screen
But Millennium Bugsy: this must be a dream!

The Hack of all hackers was looking so smug;
I knew that it must be the Y2K bug!

His image downloaded in no time at all:
He whistled and shouted, "Let all systems fall!"

"Go Intel! Go Gateway! Now HP! Big Blue!
Everything Compaq, and Pentium too!

All processors big, all processors small,
Crash away! Crash away! Crash away all!"

All the controls that make the planes fly,
And the microwaves for signals on which they rely.

All through the system, to me, and to you,
The predictions they made would soon all come true.

And then came a twinkling as midnight drew near,
All over the globe in each hemisphere.

As I drew in my breath and was turning around,
Out through the modem he came with a bound.
