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!

@mred
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?
