<div dir="ltr" class="">In the world of tech, there's a name most revered<br class="">
A system so vital, never to be feared<br class="">
It's DNS, the one that we treasure<br class="">
For it connects us all, our one true measure<br class="">
<br class="">
DNS, short for Domain Name System<br class="">
Is the backbone of the net, the one we can't skip<br class="">
It translates our searches to IP addresses<br class="">
So we can browse the web, without many stresses<br class="">
<br class="">
It's like a phone directory, but for the net<br class="">
We type in a site, and it's found, we can bet<br class="">
It speeds up our surfing, makes it less rough<br class="">
Without DNS, the net would be quite tough<br class="">
<br class="">
So let's take a moment, to give thanks and praise<br class="">
To this unsung hero, who sets our paths ablaze<br class="">
DNS, we bow down to you, our king<br class="">
For you make our lives easy, and all things sing<br class="">
