A few weeks ago I entered a contest where we had to come up with haiku in honor of System Administration Day. These are my entries. I didn’t win, but they were fun to come up with.

What a cool contest,
It helps me remember that
computers are fun

I’m the sys admin
I manage mail and the web
They aren’t the same thing

Please use Open source
apache and postfix rule
it saves tons of cash

What is my job like?
system administration
and other duties

You’re having trouble
With your mail? You insult me?
Ha! No mail for you!

Your system has crashed?
beep – a blinking question mark?
Let’s find your backup
