Pars and yEnc
(after James Taylor, “Fire and Rain”)

Just yesterday mornin’ 
My favorite newsgroup was gone
Funny now how the Dutch have put an end to you
Logged off this morning, and I wrote down this song
Some zbeba there will prob’ly have to yEnc it too.

I’ve seen PARs and I’ve seen yEnc.
I’ve seen pros and cons and I think it really stinks.
I’ve seen full reposts up-encoded with Xing.
And they’re PARed and RARed and posted with yEnc.

Won’t you look at this mess here? Jesus!
Somebody’s got to take a stand
Just got to see that there’s no frickin’ way
My head is aching and I don’t understand
Why they’re so obsessed with posting faster anyway.

I’ve seen PARs and I’ve seen yEnc.
I’ve seen pros and cons and I think it really stinks.
I’ve seen full reposts up-encoded with Xing.
And they’re PARed and RARed and posted with yEnc.

Been losin’ my mind, and I’m tryin’ to find
Some music here that’s fun
Lord knows, there’s a lot that blows, but some’ll turn your head around
I spend hours of time on my cable modem line
But my old Agent is done.
I read groups and in most there are lots of posts in pieces all around.

I’ve seen PARs and I’ve seen yEnc.
I’ve seen pros and cons and I think it really stinks.
I’ve seen full reposts up-encoded with Xing.
And they’re PARed and RARed and posted with yEnc.

See you yEncing your .rars again.
Just a few Xings coming my way this time around, now.
Thought I’d ping you, thought I’d ping you, SFV, now.
