edwin@ threw down this gauntlet when I accepted my recent hat,

I have responded.  Sure it is lame, I am a porter, not a song writer!

Something to Port
  with apologies to Queen

Can anybody find me something to port?
Each morning I get up looking at GNATS
Can barely believe what I see
Take a look on the mailing lists
People, what are you doing to me?
I have spent all these years closing PRs
But I just can't get no relief!
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me something to port?

I work hard, working on ports
I work until my brain hurts
At the end of the day, I queue up my last job
And I try to get some sleep
Until I realise I didn't sync my tree
Oh, somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me something to port?

(He works hard)

Everyday, I try and I try and I try
But the PRs keep on coming in
My family thinks I am crazy
The say, "You do this for free?"
The say I need a new hobby
Got no common sense
I got nobody who understands me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me something to port?

Got not feel, keep losing more sleep
I just keep drinking more tea
I'm ok, I'm alright
Ain't gonna let them beat me
I just gotta get out of this jail(8)
Someday I'm gonna be free!

Find me something to port
Can anybody find me something to port?
