The Past Is Prologue
THE PAST IS PROLOGUE
by
Leonard Kleinrock
The past is prologue so they say.
So Scene 1 was played today.
It set the stage to point the way
To high speed nets on Friday.
And old slow IMP, a costly link,
Codes to fix the lines that stink,
Ideas born in tanks that think,
Tomorrow's distance sure to shrink.
But first tonight we'll drink and eat.
We'll take some time good friends to greet.
Hear Bible class from Danny's seat.
Those good old days were bittersweet!
