Subject: [demon.service] New Footie song needed for Fulham - please help

[Submitter's note: Demon recently announced that they are sponsoring
        Fulham football club. Some people are annoyed that they are
        spending all that money (1.5m in 3 years) when there are still
        problems with their network. Cliff is the MD of demon, Clive
        and Richard are other senior demon staffers who sometimes post
        on demon.service. Turnpike is a newsreader demon sells.]

Now Fulham are in the shi^H^H^Hnet with Demon, they are going to need a
rather different team song, and we have been asked to help.

Here's a contribution:

The Fulham forward thundered down
The perfect line for shooting
"My God", cried Cliff, "He's missed the net!"
"He's suffered *loss of routing*"

Defenders three converged upon
The winger, with a frown.....
"My God", said Clive, "Like our Ascends"
"They've simply *modem down*"

Too slow, too slow, the entrance gates
As all the fans arrive
"I've got the thing" cries Richard C
"Here's Turnstile 3.5"

With 4-2-4 they couldn't score;
The crowd, to their frustration,
Yells "Hey, no problems at *this* end"
"It's your configuration!"

but we need a few more verses....
