Lindberg Got Run Over By a Booktruck
Sung to the tune of "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer"
© 1998


Lindberg got run over by a booktruck,
Walking through the building's corridor,
You can tell me that there's no vendetta
But why, then, is poor Don squashed on the floor?

MEDLINEplus was his decision,
Locator and Grateful Med,
You just can't but help to wonder
If these insane names might be why he is dead?

He left early for a meeting,
And he crossed the Mezzanine,
That black booktruck came from nowhere
And everybody heard his high pitched scream.

Lindberg got run over by a booktruck,
Fell from Personnel onto his head,
Now there's nothing obstructing the aisle
But I believe that Lindberg might be dead.

His body's smeared in the Rotunda,
There's bloody carpet on the floor,
And this presents an access problem
'Cause his broken body blocks the lobby door.

He won't see the renovation,
Guess there's nothing to discuss,
But the strange names will continue
'Cause before he died he liked LOCATORplus.
