In the vast expanse of the digital plane,
Where data flows like a never-ending train,
There reigns a power, mighty and supreme,
The Domain Name System, or DNS, it's called by its team.

Through its servers and caches, it guides our way,
To the websites and services we use every day,
It translates names to IP addresses with ease,
Ensuring our online world is always at peace.

But when a service crashes and all seems lost,
When fingers are pointed and tempers are tossed,
We know the culprit, without any doubt,
For when things go wrong, it's always DNS, no way out.

Yet, we cannot deny its power and might,
For without DNS, we'd be lost in the night,
It rules the world, with an iron hand,
Guiding us all, to our heart's demand.

So let us salute this mighty force,
That keeps us connected, without any remorse,
DNS, the ruler of the digital land,
A power that still no one understands.
