Ode of the IRC Operator
by Tashie

Please dont call me Sir
dont call me bro or dude
dont yell when I dont answer
check my idle, I am not rude

Perhaps I am just sleeping
or maybe I'm at work
I actually have a real life
that takes precedence over IRC

I'm not your mom or aunty
you're not my long lost pal
you aren't best buds with Raskah
nor are you friends with Dal

I'll try to help as best I can
but respect when I say "no"
it doesn't mean I'm being mean
or to other opers you should go

It simply means I cannot help
we all abide by rules
so dont load bots to flood me
or launch your other little tools

Dont ask to be a Mirc Cop
we have full quota in the ranks
and if we need a new one
dont call us, we'll call you - kthnx
