IMPOSSIBLE CODE



To code the impossible code

To bring up a virgin machine

To pop out of endless recursion

To grok what appears on the screen



To right the unrightable bug

To endlessly twiddle and thrash

To mount the unmountable magtape

To stop the unstoppable crash



This is my quest

To debug that code

No matter how hopeless

No matter the load

To write those routines

Without question or pause

To be willing to hack FORTRAN IV

For a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true

To this glorious quest

That my code will run cuspy and calm

When it's put to the test



And the queue will be better for this

That one man, scorned and destined to lose

Still strove with his last allocation

To scrap the unscrappable kludge
