| Lyrics: | The Limerick Programmer
(David Diamond)
I am a bold
Programmer, Diamond's my name,
I'll write you a program for cash or for fame
To print up
your pay-checks, or play you a game
Of Chess, or Space War, or Gin Rummy.
I'll
code it and test it from morning till night,
But I won't care too much if it's wrong or it's
right,
For although my success is infrequent and slight,
I'm champion at finding
employment.
My code's not efficient, I use up far more
Resources than anyone used up
before;
Took forty-eight pages of virtual core
Just adding two numbers
together.
I don't like test data, I can't read a spec,
I never draw flow-charts, I
will not desk-check,
I miss all my deadlines, but then what the heck,
I'm champion at
finding employment.
At home in the evening, I'm feeling the strain,
Take a drink in
my hand just to deaden the pain,
Then the phone rings, the boss says,"You've bombed out
again,
We're expecting your early arrival."
Keep your resume handy, but keep
your desk clean,
On your three-hour lunches make sure you're not seen,
When you interview
don't tell the boss where you've been,
You'll be champion at finding
employment.
