Can't manage a Haiku today, but you might enjoy this one: 

NIGHT JOB
(With apologies to W H Auden)

This is the night job, a daily recorder
Making the checksums in batch process order
E-mail (rich-text), attachments galore
Backed up on tape drives, just to restore
Viruses detoxed, servers on-line
Innumerable bytes of multipart MIME
Past project reports grow steadily older
Shoving out whitespace for file and folder
Whirring noisily as she demos
An encyclopedia of corporate memos
Disks turn their heads, confessing each secret
Whilst hardware and software struggle to keep it
ASCII and EBCDIC, zeroes and ones
Transferred to storage in nightly job runs
So think of the backups, now before later,
Keep them efficient and delete some damn data!

MECC was great. 
I met a succubus there.
After a long bender.
