help me #digipres community you're my only hope
there's a cute facetious little poem about preservation, I believe from a short chapbook-or-similar
does ANYBODY remember the book or author? the poem starts off
Clay tablets were heavy and tended to shatter
Papyrus crumbled, but at least it was flatter
and it ends
Magnetic disks are erased in a trice
Something that lasts, really lasts, would be nice
