[To the tune of Winter Wonderland]


'Nother "ping",
Are you listenin'?
Monitor - is a' glistenin'
With icons so bright,
They light up the night,
Welcome to the e-mail wonderland!

Gone away
Are the hall talks,
Here to stay,
Is the IN-BOX,
Flagged "urgent, please read!",
And "answer with speed!".
Welcome to the e-mail wonderland!

In the morning e-mails start to add up.
No lunch today cause messages abound.
Just click away and hope the server stays up.
You can't do your job if it goes down.

10 P.M., you're not tired,
The caffeine has you wired.
The day's not complete,
Till the last delete,
Welcome to the e-mail wonderland!

In the morning e-mails start to add up,
No lunch today cause messages abound.
Just click away and hope the server stays up.
You can't do your job if it goes down.

Until you are retired,
The same grind is required.
You'll face unafraid,
The message parade.
Welcome to the e-mail wonderland
