\nWhile we were running backups Christmas Eve
\nYou can say there’s no such thing as RAID-10
\nBut as for me and the SAN admin, we believe<\/p>\n
\nAnd we should have locked the cage
\nBut we’d propped it open with a brick
\nAnd then we got distracted by a page<\/p>\n
\nAt the scene of the attack
\nThere were hoof prints on its spindles
\nAnd the DBA had gotten lots of flack<\/p>\n
\nHe’s been takin’ this so well
\nSee him in there at the console
\nDrinkin’ beer and swappin’ over to the spare<\/p>\n
\nAll the department’s dressed in black
\nAnd we just can’t help but wonder
\nShould we repair the disk or send it back?<\/p>\n
\nAnd we all took one last swig
\nAnd the cage is now locked tight
\nThe sys admins put Santa in the brig<\/p>\n
\nBetter watch out for yourselves
\nThey should never loan their card key
\nTo a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves<\/p>\n
