Stu 2004-05-14: "When I was a Lad" from H.M.S. Pinafore by Gilbert and Sullivan
When I was a lad I served a term As coding grunt at a dot-com firm I used [read] quite often and then sometimes [gets] And I made my GUIs by [grid]ing my widg-ets (He made his GUIs by gridding his widg-ets!) I [grid]ded all my widgets so carefully That now I am a member of the TCT (He [grid]ded all his widgets so carefully, that now he is a member of the TCT!) As coding grunt I made such a stir That they gave me the post of a pro-gram-mer I prototyped in ANSI such as is my wont And I printed out my listings in a twelve point font (He printed out his listings in a twelve point font!) I printed out my listings so beautifully That now I am a member of the TCT (He printed out his listing so beautifully, that now he is a member of the TCT!)
