Pushing the Message On
It figures that the only Pratchett filk I have written to date is 1. serious-bordering-on-OSE and 2. incomprehensible to anyone who hadn't read a certain Discworld novel ("Going Postal", as it happens – and if you like Pratchett and haven't read it yet, READ IT).
Also, it figures that the people this song relates to are basically the Discworld's equivalent of network programmers. Heh.
Tune: Jordin Kare's "Pushing the Speed of Light"

Tune: Jordin Kare's "Pushing the Speed of Light"
Now the Grand Trunk stretches across the land
Pushing the message on.
And the towers need every working hand
To push the message on.
And you're far too young, and you're far too bright,
But it's far away and the pay's all right,
So you find yourself spending endless nights
Pushing the message on.
And you've left behind you your childhood's home
To direct the messages' restless roam
As you're pushing the message on.
