An Ode to the NOC



Three long-haired admins, sitting in the NOC,
Three pale, sick admins, sitting on the NOC,
And if one worn out admin should accidentally pop,
There'll be two tired admins sitting in the NOC.

Two trenchcoated admins, sitting in the NOC,
Two hairy admins, sitting in the NOC,
And if one yawning admin should accidentally drop,
There's be one lonely admin sleeping in the NOC.

One abandoned admin, sitting in the NOC,
One caffeinated admin, sitting in the NOC,
And if that poor admin should null route the lot,
There'll be no more network, except for bloody Spot.
