It wasn’t a drizzly Tuesday, but a torrential downpour, 

Of new stuff from the internet and old stuff in store. 

Pooling in with rare collections flooded the hubs galore. 

Members and owners had enough on their plates, but Yeh still maange more! 

Leeching all day in dark rooms, couldn’t exhaust their lists. 

Refuelled with even more; more sand spilled out of the fists. 

Time and seasons whizzed past, leaving bygones in a hazy mist. 

Few realized that exploiting it for RG was essentially the gist. 

Couldn't R.I.P. without the latest Blu-ray, HD or DVD-rips, 

Desperation would even lead to settling for morphed Cam-rips. 

Deliberately misspelling ‘pop corn’ became usual tongue-of-slips. 

Adding X's and M's to full version softies, e-books and comic strips. 

Taking the pain to sort their assets was a noble lot. 

Parasites with weird nicks just queued up with fewer slots. 

Infinite tutes, Guitar tabs and anything else they could easily spot, 

‘Downloading whole directories’ without even knowing what they really got. 

So useful a repo that it became the Oracle to a few. 

People hated graduating and the alumni revisits grew. 

Laden with outsider requests (& HDDs) left hosts in a stew. 

Shift+Delete this tonight, and promise to start tomorrow anew.
