Being called "haiku" of forum gurus by ZeroByte here http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php ... 86#p540033, it inspired me to fulfil that nickname and start with the poetry. Please, note that I am native Czech, without any previous experience with this very special japaneese poetry form and what is more, I am trying to write it in English. Very bad combination.

I do believe that gentle Japan fellows will forgive me.

So, here is the very first haiku:

RouterOs.
Read the forum -
You'll succeed.

And the second is right here too:

Routerboards.
Avoid the Google -
miss the truth.

Hope others can follow.

A technical forum this is
on mikrotik topic should stay

They cry out for help
A proper solution comes
Then they reject it

-- a haiku about the Mikrotik forums.

Following that t-shirt I saw on some EU MUM:

let your friends bridge their net
suddenly, looping occurs
you are no more their friend

calm down, engineer
your anger's not worth much
the network is down

critical router just hung
don't rush to reboot it in haste
think about eternity

three things are certain:
death, taxes and packet loss
guess what is happening right now

the Tao which you are following
is not the true Tao until you
install recent RouterOS version

installed and set up the router
no UDP support for OVPN
looking forward to version 7

Challenge accepted

Trees are spanning
Bridges waiting
Do not forget your roots

Follow the path
The target you will find
Remember way home

Open ports
Follow rules
Do not let walls fire

There is a packet for you
Mr Postman waiting
Check your address


Torch it
Sniff it
You are not alone

If you are an ISP,
you know the headache it can be

Clients love you for delivering the web,
but when it breaks they loathe you instead

Half of the time the fault is theirs,
But don't tell them that, they don't care

But do not worry, feel comfort with this,
When computers take over.. support will be bliss

New WAN connection
The LAN side never shall hear
Screams of dropped packets

When given a spoon
you should not cling to your fork.
The soup will get cold.

When given a spoon
you should not cling to your fork.
The soup will get cold.

You can use a fork
For the meat at the bottom
If you drank your soup

Can we do wrap here?
It's not very clear.

Strong wifi indoors
in the middle of deads.

New ROS version available
Upgrade, reboot and nothing
A long pizza night awaits

"offline" is the new escape.

i read it in a t-shirt and i like it much in those digital times!

OSPF sleeps
BGP peers are quiet
something must be wrong

no icons, no mouse
no drop down menus
Terminal is cool

TTL down one
the end nearer with each hop
little packet, poof...

look, mama, no hands!
only one finger typing.
easy: use SafeMode

Nobody got my message ;(

But... This was about MikroTik =)

Wifi stalled.
Not by accident.
DFS.

Looking to make IKEv2 IPSEC Tunnels
Try to find a workaround
Have to wait for ROS 7
Tell customer no solutions and no ETA
Customer angry
Lie down
Try Not to Cry
Cry a Lot

Nobody got my message ;(

That we did not
For rebels we are
Tomorrow we route

ROS Seven
Following on the heels of
6.98

Jarda Boss ,
It's my pleasure .
I got your help in time .
Thank you again n again .
Love you .

For http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=114291

The hotspot is not working,
But I do have wifi,
This have to be your fault!
Why is not working, WHY?!?

-> Didn't pay the Internet bill... #facepalm

Another new ROS feature,
While ovpn implementation is years too old,
Who knows the masterplan?

To prevents loops you need to
not only spanning tree enable,
but loop protection enable too

If Mikrotik have poetry
then Ubiq*** loses the fight
This forum rocks' n'easy
No other can prevail.

I am aware of your flaws
but I am not letting you go
Dude..

I told them not to break anything.
But did they hear? Like always.
Mikrotik.

A technical forum this is

Please no politics.

I have just found a haiku out of this thread over here:
viewtopic.php?t=68315#p850107

RouterOS.
That answers the question.
Great routers.
Wireless... We use another vendor.

It would be eternal loss if it was not mentioned in this thread also.

ROS Seven

Zerobytes speaks,
MT listens
7.5 on the way.

Flaming beast on rampage,
that's not a simple matter,
but now it got in poetry,
I'm not sure it will be better.

Tears of Joy, Rain?
Or is it Llama Spit!
Sob sobs........

Here I site broken hearted
Paid my dime and only started
My Tik would not boot
RoS 7 to the rescue
Darn it it only farted

BGP
I want use
Not 7
is confuse

Art of introducing wrong:
More devices to portfolio (why?)
Few stability inprovements to ROS (how?)

So many talents in here If i talk about me - i am the worst person when it comes to writing. No matter if its a poem or a simple nice message.
The last essay i had to do for my college i found here https://writinguniverse.com/free-essay- ... der-roles/. I read it twice before the presentation and got an excellent mark at the end. Some people would consider it bad probably but i would do it again and again if i would need to.

"Help me, it doesn't work",
another user cries,
"I did this and that,
so many tries."

"Worry not my friend",
guru @anav says,
"show me your config
I'll fix that mess."

"Put address on bridge,
not the interface,
remove these rules,
keep up the pace."

"Now behold new config,
wonderful sight!"
"But is still doesn't work,
that can't be right."

"No way that's true,
the thing must just shine,
I did what I could,
to make it match mine!"

Winbox for the mac
Is what many cry out for
Wine works fine for me
