Poem Highlights: Software Professionals

In the confines of cubicles by artificial light
Sipping coffee from the machines day and night
Speaking on the phones, in meetings we sit
Staring the monitor, the keyboard we hit
Far away from loved ones
Wife, children; daughters and sons
whom for days we do not meet
Remembering them, working on our seat
This is life for us, working away from home
& loved ones in places afar
What a life, software professionals we are ?!!

Poem Highlights: Get Out of Bed!

Mom (yelling):

Get out of bed you silly fool!
Get up right now, it’s time for school.
If you don’t dress without a fuss,
I’ll throw you naked on the bus!

Child:

Oh, Mom, don’t make me go today.
I’m feeling worse than yesterday.
You don’t know what I’m going through.
I’ve got a strange, rare case of flu.
My body aches, my throat is sore.
I’m sure I’m knocking on death’s door.
You can’t send me to school—achoo!— (sneeze)
`Cause everyone could get it, too.
Besides the kids despise me there.
They always tease, and always stare
And all the teachers know my name.
When something’s wrong, it’s me they blame

Mom (yelling):

You faked a headache yesterday.
Don’t pull that stuff on me today.
Stop acting like a silly fool—
The principal cannot skip school!

Poem Highlights: The Friend Who Stands By

When troubles come your soul to try
You love the friend who just stands by.
Perhaps there’s nothing he or she can do
The thing is strictly up to you.
For there are troubles all your own
And paths the soul must tread alone.
Times when love can’t smooth the road
Nor friendship lift the heavy load.
But just to feel you have a friend
Who will stand by until the end.
Whose sympathy through all endures
Whose warm handclasp is always yours.
It helps somehow to pull you through
Although there’s nothing he or she can do.
And so with fervent heart we cry…
God Bless the friend who just stands by.

Poem Highlights: Why Computers Sometimes Crash!

[You gotta read this one out loud]

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port
And the bus is interrupted at a very last resort
And the access of the memory makes your floppy disk abort
Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report.

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash
And the double-clicking Icon puts your window in the trash
And your data is corrupted cause the index doesn’t hash
Then your situation’s hopeless and your system’s gonna crash!

If the label on the cable on the table at your house
Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse
But your packets want to tunnel to another protocol
That’s repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall.

And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss
So your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse
Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang
‘cuz sure as I’m a poet, the sucker’s gonna hang.

When the copy on your floppy’s getting sloppy in the disk
And the macro code instructions are causing unnecessary risk
Then you’ll have to flash the memory and you’ll want to RAM your ROM
And then quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your Mom!
