      If thy needeth them, here be the words from the PowerShell Love Poem

      How do I love Thee Powershell?
      Let me count the ways

      I love thee for thy Cmdlets
      A Verb and Noun to see
      that Simple pair of wonder
      unleashed for you and me

      I love thee for thy Objects
      Unlocked for all to use
      Their Methods and their Madness
      Yet never to do they bruise

      I love thee for thy Help
      Which makes life oh so fine
      The basics and examples
      And more of it -online

      I love thee for the Shell
      Oh Rich and lovely Blue
      that shimmers on the Flat Screen
      And makes me feel anew

      I love thy integration
      You see to work with all
      Using CIM and MOF
      You're always on the Ball

      Oh thy Workflows and Remoting
      Modules and DSC
      Easy to build Cmdlets
      That set the systems free

      On this brightest day of hearts
      With forgiveness in the air
      With Speakers Tweeting love
      Admins smiling without care

      I beg thee PowerShell
      and I'm asking on my knees
      forgive last Mondays use of Vbscript
      I ask you oh so please!

      My badly written poetry is EXACTLY why I focus on Servers and Technology and doing well at what I do.... :)

      But what if I take up a Night job?

      ;)
