 Jargontalk, by Larry Colen
 with apologies to Lewis Carroll

 Twas unix and the C++
 Did compile and load upon the vax:
 All Ritchie was the Kernighan,
 And Lisp ran in GNU EMACS

 Beware the Jargontalk my son.
 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.

 Twas unix and the C++
 Did compile and load upon the vax:
 All Ritchie was the Kernighan,
 And Lisp ran in GNU EMACS
