(A TA's lament)
Are these the novices I graded?
Are these the programmers I trained?
I haven't yet become a wizard,
When did they?
When did she get to be a hacker?
When did he learn to code in FAIL?
Wasn't it yesterday I taught them MAIL?
Sunrise, sunset,
Sunrise, sunset,
Swiftly flow the nights.
Lusers turn overnight to winners,
Creating magic with a byte.
Sunrise, sunset,
Sunrise, sunset,
Swiftly fly the years.
One intro class following another,
Laden with dread computer fears.
What words of wisdom can I give them?
How can I help to ease their way?
Now they must learn from system crashes
Day by day.
They look so natural with junk food,
Just like a true hacker should be.
Is there enablement in store for me?
Sunrise, sunset,
Sunrise, sunset,
Swiftly fly the years.
One intro class following another,
Laden with dread computer fears.
