They Crashed the Server

They crashed the server But they didn’t lose the poetry They crashed the server But they didn’t lose the poetry Parts of three days the Soup’s been down With most of us wearing a frown Trouble started intermittently Causing some to worry ‘bout their poetry Leaving many fretting ‘bout their poetry And I say: They crashed the server But they didn’t lose the poetry They crashed the server But they didn’t lose the poetry The Poem of Three Days was controversial Evidence of our turbulent times Suddenly the website crashed and burned Leaving no place to post our rhymes We tried to login oh, so many times And I say: They crashed the server Wondering now if there was ill intent They crashed the server Actions of a black hat dissident? Crying-baby landing page rocked While all of us were watching the clock There is no promise made nor guarantee, That our poems will be stored indefinitely Store them elsewhere, protect your poetry And I say: They crashed the server But they didn’t lose the poetry (this time) They crashed the server But they didn’t lose the poetry Freedom came our way today New servers up and running fast Some glitches in the system yet to tame Hopefully all of these too shall pass Until then we’ll raise a glass To poetry! They crashed the server But they didn’t lose the poetry They crashed the server Quick response by admin, thankfully
