The Great WC Account Scare

For those of you who missed it the WC went bat s**t crazy for a few minutes today

There was a panic on the WC

We lost all our accounts

They fell into some cyber hole

and wouldn't come back out 

The PM's they flew back and forth 

Dear God what's going on 

Now all our work has disappeared 

No backup it's all gone 

With sweaty palms and bulging veins 

the panicked writers stared 

into their blank computer screens 

for work that wasn't there 

Then came the WC miracle 

Our work just reappeared 

It was as if nothing happened

That s**t was freaky weird 

I don't know what really happened 

All I got is theories 

A debugging system ran Amok 

Some other kind of query 

Cyberspace is the wild west

anything can happen 

We trust the work we sweat over

To some weird contraption 

Those of us who witnessed chaos

survived to tell this tale 

Make sure you have your work backed up 

If there's an epic fail 

Author's Note

I banged this out pretty quick. It was a scary few minutes on here though.

Wow - I had no idea! I compose on paper, then type into a Word document, THEN post it here, so I am pretty well backed up, but that would still be damn frustrating! Love this line: Cyberspace is the wild west... It sure is...

[Baby Ricochet]

It was pretty short. Less than an hour. It was weird to log on to nothing. That's for sure

[Frieda P]

Perfect Baby...yep lesson learned, back it up!

[Baby Ricochet]

That's for sure

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Well let's face it when you bang it's always quick! Sorry I just had to say it, as for the piece it's quirky, funny with a good message - back it up!
