The mac that talks, the dull PC Beware the Amiga, and shun the voluminous PDP He took his listed code in hand: Long time the pointer bug he sought- So rested he by the coke machine, and stood a while in thought. And as in nerdish thought he stood, the Jargontalk, with awk and grep, Came geeking through the Cobol wood, and edlin as it schlepped. One two! One two! and through and through the line printer went clickity clack! And with a meg of memory dump He pulled an allnight hack. And hast thou slain the Jargontalk? telnet to me, my nerdish boy! Copyleft Gnu! Callooh! Callay! He deroffed in his joy.
