REPLY ALL
An email sent to everyone
Should be like college hoops stars
(One and done)
And yet that schmuck across the hall
Types “OK, thx ;)” and replies all
May his fate for being so banal
Be a computer virus
That wipes out his entire hard drive
Requiring a full reinstall
No backup? 🙁

EMOTICONS
The emoticon has its place
That place is seventh grade
In an email to the Director one
Should strive to write more Corrector

Although chances are
The Director won’t
Be reading one’s note
No matter what one wrote

I’m changing my vote
Go ahead and emote

EMAIL ETIQUETTE
When including a link make it blue
And underline it for those not born
After 1972

When sending a file click attach
So they can send it back
A week past due with
Minor editorial changes tracked

When your “To:” contains
The wrong Bob Jones
You can recall the message
If you have the stones
Because invariably
Your email bemoans
The idiocy of the wrong Bob Jones,
Director of Human Resources

PASSWORD PROTECTION
Our new password requirements
Are the most secure yet
I can barely confirm one
Before I forget

INSTALLING UPDATE 1 OF
Logging on took super long
Until I learned the secret
You’ll see your email far much faster
If you hire a hacker
And ask him to leak it
