Rhyme of the ancient programmer...
When the room was dark
and there was no light
I had a nightmare
when?? oh just last night !!!
There was a noose around my neck
I was sitting in a chair
facing a cluttered screen
and everyone else was there
There were bugs crawling
with their limbs-fore and hind,
all over my body
and creeping into my mind !!!
I tried hitting a button
with relief i was about to slump
when the screen pronounced
the sentence "sys core dump" !!!
There were loadsa other buttons
I tried hitting them all
Nothing worked, nothing changed
and then...i got a call !!
Said the hoary voice
You are the one..
No one will help you
to save u will come none...!!!
The noose tightened
I was choking
I screamed and cried
yet everyone was working !!!
And then I found a note
'Users guide' it said
thousand lines of junk
in panic i read !!!
To come out of your dream
use Ctrl+Alt+Del
for this escape route
gladly my soul i wud sell !!!
And so just when my last breath
was holding onto a thread
I pressed the magic buttons
And all i saw was red !!!
cos on the screen were written
two words - maybe it was a curse
"Fatal Error" it said
and suddenly things were much worse !!!
And then i woke up screaming,
my heart twisted like a sickle
Maybe thats what happens dear pal..
after too much work in a cubicle !!!
