TPF/ESA

In a land of mainframes, so grand and vast, TPF ruled supreme, a system built to last. With high-volume transactions, it never did tire, Handling loads of data, it never did expire. TPF, oh TPF, a real-time wonder, Delivering speed and power, lightning and thunder. Concurrent users, in numbers so great, It danced through the network, never a moment to wait. Visa cards it processed, during the shopping spree, With fast response times, it filled us with glee. The holiday season, with joy it did bring, Thanks to TPF, the registers would sing. PARS, the reservation system, used by airlines high, Booking flights and journeys, reaching for the sky. An application program, working hand in hand, With TPF, the operating system, a magical land. But wait, there's more, a component so fine, TPF Database Facility, a treasure to find. Specialized and high-performance, it did shine, Storing data securely, like a precious gold mine. ALCS, a cousin, with services to blend, Integrating TPF into the mainframe's trend. MVS, now z/OS, a world so vast, With TPF by its side, the adventure will last. So let us celebrate, this TPF so grand, A system of wonders, across the land. With speed and power, it never will cease, TPF, the hero, bringing transactions to peace.
