'Twas eunicks* and the asky chars Did grepp and skanneff at the nik: All mimdy were the hyperstars, And the rad ravs outsmick. "Beware the Viruworm, my sun! Let not its bits, in temp space get! Guard well the Passpass word, and shun The durbious Internet!" He put his darpal code in ram: Long time the decson foe he sought -- So waited he, in the Dirdir tree And slept awhile, swapped out. And as with hashish dreams he slept The Viruworm -- that spawn from shell -- Fast fingring through the mayle, it crept And gettessed from Koornell! Ping, pong! Ping, pong! And long by long The darpal code went hicker-hack! It ran no more, and with its core He went dispiling back. "And hast thou killed the Viruworm? Nok bless your promms, my sparkish toy! O megga win! Ess are eye! Bee bee enn!" He broadcast in his joy. 'Twas eunicks and the asky chars Did grepp and skanneff at the nik: All mimdy were the hyperstars, And the rad ravs outsmick. -- ejc '90 *Eunicks is not a registered trademark of ATT Bell Laboratories.
