The Rime of the Modern Computer Geek

A computer geek stopped a boy in the street.

"Listen to my tale," he said.

The little boy tried to escape from the side,

But the geek had the manuever outread.

"It all started one day when the PC turned on

But it would not finish its load.

'To escape this blue screen, it would have to mean

That I need to boot into Safe Mode.'

"But that did not fix it, the problem lived on;

Even Linux would not boot up right.

The unfortunate geek, I started to freak,

And grabbed the nearest computer in sight.

"I started a Mac, oh the crime I just did!

I apologized to the first.

Because versus the PC, the Mac, you see,

Even living is still the worst."

"I fear thee, modern computer geek!" the little boy said.

"A Macintosh, oh the shame!

Unintentional -- still! No geek now will

Ever want to speak your name."

"But just you wait, there's more, you see!

I witnessed a lucky hap'ning.

A crash on a Mac? Hit the road, Jack!

Apple users don't know the thing.

"So as you go on your weary way, boy,

Remember just one theme I say:

Mac, Linux, or Windows, though nobody knows,

They're all good in their own way."
