Beautiful SICP poetry

You are now wearing a black suit
You used to do your job for fun
That's why you were hurrying to get it done
Now, you're not producing the same fruit
The boss of the enterprise fired you
But when everything around you falls apart
You realize that the most important art
Was put apart
And it was the fact that your other car was a cudder

Post yours.


The car

Awesome.

your heart is now beating manually,
your penis is now beating manually,
your ceo is now meeting annually;
your life is falling apart;
your wife is dating bart;
but at the end of it all you still own a cart
and when that bullet goes through your heart
you realize the one thing that set you apart...
the fact that your other car was a cdr.

Side-effects and it does not support the   team though and   the bugs are   being found to   be not suiting   to our culture   and the way   to associate the   clipboard to active   task fails so   hard it makes   me want to   move on and   the optimized function   and the optimized   Windows ReadyBoost Technology.
