The kickoff was held in July
Another upgrade they would try
From 3c two one
To four point two one
It was upgrade to the newest or die
Darin and Brad had it out
It was Brad who would leave in a pout
Amy was sure happy
To have a new Pappy
But wondered if he would have clout
Since Sue was just down the road
The project on her we'd unload
With no JR to assist
Who would she enlist
To come to the Wilsons abode
A statement of work then was signed
Brad had long since resigned
Now Lynch was the man
And Sue was his fan
But her help was sometimes maligned
Darin's Merch team was learning the ropes
The were new, but certainly not dopes
With Marry Lynne at their side
They were hitting their stride
They were moving like swift antelopes
Christmas was quickly approaching
And the subject was worth gently broaching
One Jim had to go
And one, don't cha know
Would need not one day of our coaching
Fresh from the land of the small
In January he answered a call
When in the Spring
Was he to bring
His talents to the place with the big mall
It was COLD when he got back town
The temp went nowhere but DOWN
He froze his ass off
And he got a bad cough
Even that would not bring on a frown
Test scripts were written in haste
A lot of them built "cut and paste"
Learn as you go
Was the standard M.O.
But they didn't have much time to waste
They started with four point two one
And most things they managed to run
Just a few bugs
None under the rugs
A few days they even had fun
Then integration test jumped in the fray
And the database got in the way
Permissions and grants
They got their our pants
And sometimes they ruined the day
Without Brad around being mean
And without documentation by Jean
They struggled fought
And solutions they sought
To the reasons for not running clean
One day they hit a brick wall
The performance team they would call
Dayend was a pig
The rollback wasn't big
The damn job wouldn't finish at all
That wasn't the only concern
Thank goodness for Jackie and Vern
They analyzed tables
And emptied the stables
Of every last trick they could learn
Once the Dayend was pushed to the ground
On WCC they would pound
Sandip was the man
In a grey mini-van
In and out with nary a sound
With very few days yet to go
The momentum they didn't want to blow
Karyen was on fire
As they get to the wire
They're building up super mo-jo
Carolyn and Heidi and Mick
They've learned so much and so quick
From zero to now
They've done it, and how
The knowledge is starting to stick
A rhyming review of the way
That brought us together to say
"I hope it goes live"
And for smoothness we strive
The end is Memorial Day
All of this work for Brad Rencher
Every day is a brand new adventure
He constantly changes the scope
Everyone feels there's not hope
And if Amy screws up he will bench her
He didn't like Ron or Scott Gray
They just didn't see things his way
When he got the notion
He'd go call up Moshin
To be sure that he had the last say
Endeavor's upgrade is a must
It's into production or bust
Now Moshin is gone
He can only call Ron
For JDA people to trust
The last issue is with DMS
The SDI table's a mess
The Pootay is double
That can only be trouble
Brad's due for a cardiac arrest
