How about bad rap? There's a hilarious "key rap" that appeared first
in an appendix to Rogaway and Shrimpton's "Deterministic Authenticated
Encryption" paper. It is also in the Journal of Craptology, vol 3, 2006:

Once upon a mailing list dreary, while I read a draft so fearfully,
Over many an acronym, of internet standards body lore,

Only this and nothing more.”
Bad poetry from yours truly. I certainly wouldn't include the above in any compendium. However, if you have some Internet poetry or other funny anecdotes you would like to publish as an RFC or as part of a compendium, your local Independent Submissions Editor would like you to know that levity is not solely reserved for April 1st RFCs. If you are interested in contributing, please contact me at rfc-ise@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Those whose works are published will receive High Praise for helping to make everyone's lives just a bit more enjoyable. Only this and nothing more ;-)
