I can make a start:<br>
<br>
It was few men of industry,<br>
To learning much inclined,<br>
Who sought to fix the Internet,<br>
(With market share in mind),<br>
That evil of congestion,<br>
Might soon be left behind.<br>
<br>
Definitely, the pipe-men say,<br>
A wider link we laud,<br>
For congestion occurs only<br>
When bandwidth exceeds baud.<br>
If only the reverse were true,<br>
We would all live like lords.<br>
<br>
[...]<br>
<br>
And so these men of industry,<br>
Disputed loud and long,<br>
Each in his own opinion,<br>
Exceeding stiff and strong,<br>
Though each was partly in the right,<br>
Yet mostly in the wrong!<br>
<br>
So, oft in technologic wars,<br>
The disputants, I ween,<br>
Rail on in utter ignorance,<br>
Of what each other mean,<br>
And prate about an Internet,<br>
Not one of them has seen!<br>
<br>
Let's see if I can fill in a few more stanzas...<br>
