SYSABEND DUMP
>m10

On either side the printer lie
Fat stacks of paper six feet high
That stun the mind and blur the eye,
And Lo! Still more comes streaming by,
A fresh SYSABEND dump.
Ye printer clacketh merrily,
"Completion code is 043"
Alack! What can the matter be
That made SYSABEND dump?
My TCAM hath no MCP?
My data cannot OPENed be?
Consult my neighborhood SE?
The devil take thy dam and thee,
Thou vile SYSABEND dump!
Assemble modules on the fly,
And link for yet another try.
With SUPERZAP a patch apply.
This time THOU SHALL NOT DUMP!
. . .
On either side the printer lie
Fat stacks of paper twelve feet high
That blow the mind and blast the eye.
Gadzooks! How shrill yon varlet's cry
As sixteen megabytes go by
In yet another dump.
