RFCs (Ode)

Ode to RFCs
The mighty worldly web Would quickly have dropped dead, Without some mighty standards To organize computer nerds. Requests for comments, called RFCs, Forged consensus with friendly decrees. Plain English somehow specified what needed to be clarified. HTTP, SMTP, FTP, UDP, TCP, and IP These and more protocols had to be Defined by and for those software cats Who coded early internet apps. And so the world and culture changed, The new invented, the old rearranged, Because of something most never see, An ocean of cyber RFCs. — Eric Alan Christiansen (2025) ⇒⇑
