The Airplane House was the venue	Woods Hole's weather was cool and blue
The big hook was hung by the chimney with care	Even the shingles were better for wear
The Master touched the piano's tune	The harmonica was adjusted too
Bradner arrived and tried to relax	While the rest of the gang tried a few hacks
Isenberg hoped for this kind of flow	But it's often easier to know where to go
Here's a display of BigHook's group software	Creator and user looked for the "there" there
The group	grouped
groped	grocked
grasped	and grepped.
Discrimination	illumination
explanation	concentration
but at least nobody wept.	(Somebody slept)
Where does value come from?	Are the ILECs inept or dumb?
Fiber?	Wireless?
Competition?	Regulation?
Massively parallel software?	ICANN security?
Online democracy	not corporate stupidity
Railroad bubbles	Incumbent troubles
And the world went by	oblivious to our struggles
Paradoxical networks	and exponential good works
Interdisciplinary exchanges	and personal changes
From half a world away	from technology and play
From bigcos with too much cash to die	And from a fishermen who knows how to lie
Was Roxane explaining the next big thing?	Or was she was just waiving her new ring?
Steve Stroh wants bandwidth to go	Bob used to think so, but now he don't know
Howard was amazing	and full of grace
Cory, Ted and David W conferred	While Charlie and Bill met face to face
The Croquet demo kinda bombed	But Reed's Law carries on
Greg told how to date a base	Dave H could waive a call
Bill St. Arnaud can nary	While the rest gave it our all.
Tim and Timber sought advice	on how to cull the herd
But Pepper never	showed these pix or said even one word
About how some WISPs were using	structures quite absurd.
David and Pete's stylish feet	rhyme with, "Hey, Chef Roland, what's to eat?"
BigHookers got together	And tried to make each other smile
Some came from Sweden	And some from West Nile
We stared out at the lighthouse	we feasted
networked	and had some fun
We traded information	We ate
We sparred	We explored
every communications issue	until we were quite done.
Everything came together	or so close the gap was hard to see
then we relaxed	and leaned back
and watched	Isenberg deregulate the FCC.
But networks are	a lot of work
Which we worked hard to do	Some of the facts
were shrouded in black	but some of them we knew
Ted counseled	Jim shot
Dewayne worked on his Dewayne-Net letter	Sarah explained
and Greg understood	that it's serious work to make the net better
Howard played a last stirring call	David I thanked one and all
