On a dark office evening,
Sat down in my chair.
Sharp smell of stale coffee
Circling round in the air.
Suddenly on the webpage
There came a flickering light.
My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim;
I had to stop for the night.
There it was in the link list:
"Edit page; you'll do well"
And I was thinking to myself
This could be Heaven or this could be Hell!
Then it lit up the quickbar
And it showed me the way.

Welcome to the ______ ______
Such a lovely place
So much empty space
Plenty of work at the ______ ______
Any time of year

Its structure's maze-passage twisted;
No one knows where it ends.
It's got a lot of money mirror sites,
That it calls friends.
And in the dance of the pages
Editors sweat -
Some change to remember,
Some change to forget.

Many links in the Portal
Disambigs won't suffice
And users said,
We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device.
And in the Most Requested
The list of pages increased;
They edit with their steely knives

Last thing I remember,
I couldn't take any more.
I had to find the passage back
to the life I had before
Relax, said the Rambot,
We are programmed to receive.
You can log out any time you like
But you can never leave.
