From my server’s MOTD, and I thought it was fun:
Here I sit, broken-hearted,
All logged in, but work unstarted.
First net.this and net.that,
And a hot buttered bun for net.fat.
The boss comes by, and I play the game,
Then I turn back to net.flame.
Is there a cure (I need your views),
For someone trapped in net.news?
I need your help, I say 'tween sobs,
'Cause I'll soon be listed in net.jobs.
A quick Google search did not turn up the author, but it has been reposted a number of times over the past decade. Remember Usenet? A blast from my past.
