Abort, Retry, Ignore

Once upon a midnight dreary, Fingers cramped and vision bleary, System manuals piled high And wasted paper on the floor, Looking for the warmth of bedsheets, Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets. Having reached the bottom line, I took a floppy from the drawer. Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command, But got instead a reprimand: It read, "Abort, Retry, Ignore." Was this some occult illusion? Some maniacal intrusion? These were choices Solomon himself Had never faced before. Carefully, I weighed my options. These three seemed to be the top ones. Clearly, I must now adopt one: Choose Abort, Retry, Ignore. With my fingers pale and trembling, Slowly toward the keyboard bending, Longing for a happy ending, Hoping all will be restored, Praying for some guarantee Finally I pressed a key -- But on the screen what did I see? Again: "Abort, Retry, Ignore." I tried to catch the chips off-guard -- I pressed again, but twice as hard. Luck was just not in the cards. I saw what I had seen before. Now I typed in desperation Trying random combinations; Still there came the incantation: Choose: Abort, Retry, Ignore. There I sat, distraught, exhausted, by my own machine accosted. Getting up I turned away And paced across the office floor. And then I saw an awful sight: A bold and blinding flash of light -- A lightning bolt had cut the night And shook me to my very core. I saw the screen collapse and die; "Oh no -- my database, I cried." I thought I heard a voice reply, "You'll see your data Nevermore..." To this day I do not know The place to which lost data goes. I bet it goes to Heaven Where the angels have it stored, But as for productivity, well -- I fear that it goes straight to Hell, And that's the tale I have to tell. Your Choice: Abort, Retry, Ignore.
