the past

ran across this just now while digging through old email. reminds me of a few Blogger posts I have transiently known...

> YESTERDAY
>
> Yesterday,
> All those backups seemed a waste of pay.
> Now my database has gone away.
> Oh I believe in yesterday.
>
> Suddenly,
> There's not half the files there used to be,
> And there's a milestone hanging over me
> The system crashed so suddenly.
>
> I pushed something wrong
> What it was I could not say.
>
> Now all my data's gone and
> I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay.
>
> Yesterday,
> The need for back-ups seemed so far away.
> I knew my data was all here to stay,
> Now I believe in yesterday.
