Here's from Shelley's Sonnets:


        Olaf's Labour Lost


                        Hoc opus, hic labor est.
                        R.H. Ash

A pale glow lights the scene:
A hunched man, digging through a mound
of paper, listens to the harddisk's sound
And stares tired at the screen.

'Tis many hours after midnight
And most Linux users idly dream.
Only a member of the Docu team
Works fiercely on the Network Guide.

A new day dawns, the world is bright;
The author wakes, gets out of bed
straight back to work, cause work he must:

Write one more chapter, section, byte
- Go, hurry! People start to get upset! -
The next release will be in August.

The man page that needs writeing is shutdown(2), which closes a socket
connection -- the source is in the kernel.  [I wrote a manpage for
shutdown(1), the command that halts your systems, months ago -- it is in
the utile package.]
