Imagine -- a network song
                       =========================

                    Imagine  there's   no  network,
                    I   wonder    if    you    can,
                    No      OSI      below      us,
                    No    ping    goes    anywhere.
                    Imagine    all   the    servers
                    Standing    there   alone   ...

                    Imagine   there's  no   usenet,
                    Don't    be   such    a   fool.
                    Nothing  to ping or  surf with,
                    And     no    ethernet,    too.
                    Imagine   all   the   switches:
                    nothing    they   can    do ...

                    You  may say  I'm  a  nerd boy,
                    But  I'm   not  the   only  one
                    I hope  someday you'll  join us
                    And the net  will route as one.

                    Imagine    no     workstations,
                    I   think   you    never   can,
                    No  need  for  IRC  or  e-mail,
                    The    internet     is    down.
                    Imagine    all    the    people
                    Are   disconnected    now   ...

                    You  may say  I'm  a nerd  boy,
                    But  I'm  not   the  only  one,
                    I hope some day you'll join us,
                    And the net  will route as one.
