Once, upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary
Over many a quaint posting from computer.folklore
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly I heard a rapping,
As if my box were bootstrapping, paging code into its core!
`Tis some kernel bug, I muttered, or some ``C code'' from G. Moore.
    It is that---and nothing more.

Ah, distinctly I remember, it was in the bleak September
And each separate union member cast its type on the same store
Eagerly, I wished the morrow; vainly I had sought to borrow
>From alt.humor cease of sorrow---sorrow for the lost G. Moore
For that dull, dark dilettante whom his parents named G. Moore
    Nameless here---for evermore!

(I only remember two stanzas from The Raven, otherwise I would keep going.
The next one is about some purple curtains rustling or something like that :)
