Okay, none of you have yet displayed the good sense I know you have and told me to shut up, so here's my first one. I kind of threw it together, so forgive if it isn't up to our usual standard of high quality (wait...do we have one of those?)
To the tune of "I Get a Kick out of You", by the immortal Cole Porter (for those under 40, Google him), here goes. I get no kick from coding ITSM is quite an (ahem) But I've got a favorite drug, Yeah, I get a kick out of RUG. Birthdays are now just a bore Since 51, what's really one more? But let me just put in my plug That I get a kick out of RUG. Dan and the gang will be there Twinkies may fly to the light fixtures high If you ask Lenny and Doug They both get a kick out of RUG. We're in Las Vegas this year Great place to be and some fun things you'll see But if you can put down your mug, You'll get a lot out of RUG. So get your boss to send you, Promise him booze, if training budget he'll use, And only free drinks will you chug For you get a kick, (just don't drink yourself sick!) Yes, you'll get a kick out of RUG.
