I just got BOFH'd?!

[prog]

For real... in an email cc:ed to all my sidelings and overlings, an HMS sysadmin just chewed me out for writing a database password in a file in my home directory just a few minutes ago. He had every right to complain and tell me about a sysadmin-preferred way of doing things (which would be to parse a locked-down credentials file elsewhere on the fs), but really now.

I group-replied with "LART'd!!!" and then wrote a poem about him and put that in my home directory too, called a_haiku_about_${BOFH_name}.txt

A lovely spring day
Hey, that file's world-readable
Release the hounds, yo

I regret not adding more names to the cc: list in my reply... president@whitehouse.gov et al

I just looked back at this because of your recent post on the subject, and wanted to give you props for correctly including a seasonal reference in your haiku.
