Sleepless In Geekdom
Early in our marriage, my husband Mark worked as a computer programmer and was on over-night call:
Sleepless In Geekdom
By Madeleine Begun Kane
My husband’s a super-smart geek
Who’s on overnight call once a week.
And those questions they pose
After wrecking our doze
Sound, to me, much like Latin or Greek.
UPDATE: Happy International Programmers’ Day, January 7th!
And happy Geek Pride Day, May 25th!

Thank you for participating in the Carnival of Family Life 51st edition! It’s up and running at DigitalRich Daily.

I will memorize this and recite it to myself when MY geek is on call. Those are the nights when I awake to find him sitting at the computer with our phone to one ear and his cell phone to the other, trying to fix a problem that happened miles away. You write great limericks.
I found this through the Carnival of Family Life #51.
