God, give me privileges to change with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Permission to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the lusers from the users.
Configuring several servers at a time,
Fixing multiple issues at a time,
Accepting hardware as a pathway to Perl,
Getting, as Stallman did,
Free help from the network,
Exactly when I would need it,
Trusting that I will make all things right,
If managers surrender to my will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this session,
And supremely happy with You forever in screen.
