- The recent problems with circulation inspired me to write this bit of doggerel.

- Circulation Breakdown
- Alan Alexander-Manifold, 7/31/92
-
- My overdues are spewing out
- For books not even due,
- And NOTIS says that they don't care;
- I think I'll have to sue.
-
- Each recall either screws me up
- Or doesn't work at all,
- I've called it in, but NOTIS folks
- Just won't return my call.
-
- I know that if I hack the code,
- I risk losing support,
- But every day my bills and fines
- Come up a big chunk short.
-
- So now what am I going to do?
- My NOTIS CPU
- Won't run GEAC or DRA;
- I can't wait for 5.2.
-
- I'll take the one route that will make
- The future look less bleak:
- I'm heading for the Outer Banks--
- I'll see you in a week!
