Management has found a way,
To make those RIDs go away,
To all the players this they say,
You may only review this one blank page,

Those comments well they're out of scope,
Written by some hopeless dolt,
Who yearns for some clarity,
In the midst of this insanity,

Who dares to question the wisdom of level 3,
We'll hire a contractor to kill a tree,
A mountain of paper we'll show to thee,
As evidence of our superiority,

Keyboards clicked and fingers burned,
As thousands joined the mighty herd,
Then the Emperor said at last,
Our star did shine but that is past.
