Tae a sysop

Congratulations, yer RfA,

Haes gane sae well, A hiv tae say.

Ye teuk the agro on yer chin;

And i'the end, desert tae win.

Fae ane that doun this road hae been,

an joys an grief baith hae seen,

Some gash advisement mabbe ye’d heed;

Fae A can see yer patent need.

It, thay say, aw ‘nae muckle deal’:

But nou, important ye micht feel,

As ye hae thae admin tools,

Thare tae help enforce the rules.

Of course, ye'll ken there is no bar,

to yer using IAR;

But please gae cannie at aw times

Desysoping’s the fee for crimes.

Be chivalrous, pertect the weak;

Be stoot the cruft, aye tae delete;

Dinna be a bawheid, but bend the rules

An only, e'er, dit the fuils.

Use rummle-gumption, and hae a hert,

Trolls, cuifs and freends tae tell apairt;

And whan it is yon Sidaway

Gang not intae that sair fray.

A sysop walks upo a line,

sae fair-faced be, at ilka time.

But ayeweys in yer lugs shoud ring

’the ENCYCLOPEDIA’s the thing.’
