\nTo back up with RMAN,
\nFor all tables you just dropped,
\nWith no DR plan.<\/p>\n
\nAnd in fact have not got,
\nFor all you try to make it right,
\nYour data’s shot.<\/p>\n
\nAnd your boss is hopping mad.
\nThe end users think you’re a clown.
\nOy vey; so bad!<\/p>\n
\nTo get your kids through school
\nOh, please don’t throw me, you do plead,
\nInto the labor pool.<\/p>\n
\nAnd get those tables back.
\nFor all the data you just fried,
\nSomehow, it’s back on track.<\/p>\n
\nQuick, write a backup job.
\nYou got away with it this time,
\nNow don’t be such a slob!<\/p>\n
\nYou’re always on our minds.
\nWe send our richest blessings out,
\nFor auld lang syne.<\/p>\n
