While reading a recent blog post on SlashDot, my mind was opened by some touching SysAdmin poetry. While not a lethal as Vogon verse, I promise it will alter your mood.

I don't want my data in the cloud
I don't want my data in a crowd
I don't want my data on the net
I don't want my data on diskette
I don't want my data over there
I don't want my data everywhere
I know the spooks don't give a damn
I do not trust you Uncle Sam!

I do not play with the cloud clowns.
I own my own hardware and software.
I do not walk in the valley of DRM.
I do not beg to receive the fruits of my labors from datachangers.
I shall not want.

Do you like data in the cloud?
I do not want it in the cloud,
I would not like it since I'm proud.
Would you like it here or there?
I would not want it anywhere.
I do not like the loss of data,
Yes, you can call me a cloud-hater.
Enough with the Cloud Crap Already by (unknown)
I don't trust you with my data.
I don't trust your security.
I don't trust your longevity.
I don't trust that you at some point in the future won't hold my data hostage.
I don't trust you to keep my data away from big brother.
I also don't trust my ISP!
FINALLY, I don't want to wait all day for a file to load.

Have you been inspired too?
If you're looking for software that allows you to deploy a controlled edition of popular cloud functionality like secure file sharing, you may want to check out applications like SolarWinds Serv-U that can be deployed on your own infrastructure. Or, if you wrote your own ode to the cloud, lay it on us in the comments below.
