A Corporate IT tragedy in five limericks

March 7, 2008 at 9:35 am (Corporate IT, Humour, Verse)

They tell me my job’s on the line
I think it’s for real this time.
The bosses, they say,
“Your job’s going away,
it’s heading for sunnier climes.”

This time it’s gone really far.
I reckon they’ve been reading Carr.
Who tells us that IT,
is just a utility.
Strategic it isn’t, for sure.

Consequences of centralization -
servers in another nation.
Miles away from here.
Too far, I fear;
QoS goes to hell - “Oh damnation!”

Every little bit and byte
traverses a long and thin pipe.
All the way to our users
who’ve become snoozers,
waiting for docs from last night.

I know the circle will turn.
But not before users get burned,
by rotten support.
They’ll see it’s a rort,
then bring the whole darn thing back home.
