With my fingers pale and trembling Slowly toward the keyboard bending, Longing for a happy ending, hoping all would 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 ligtning bolt had cut the night and shook me to my core I saw the screen collapse and die: No No, my database I cried I thought I heard a voice reply, "You'll see your data NEVERMORE!
