Unpaid Advice

[This is a reaction to the Sex And Consulting controversy  which recently
 raged on BBoard (thanks to Stuart Reges).  Though it's traditional, when
 writing or singing a song, to toggle the pronouns to suit one's own
 preferences, I'll assume, in the spirit of that discussion, that all
 consultants lust after women.]


I
Once helped a girl.
Or should I say
She once helped me?
She
Showed me her code.
(Isn't it nice,
Unpaid advice?)

She asked me for help and she told me it wouldn't compile.
So I looked it over and noticed its godawful style.

I
Lended a hand,
Raising the load,
Changing her code.
I
Worked until 2,
Then heard her weep,
"I need some sleep".

She said she had class in the morning and started to cry.
I told her I didn't 'cause I was too tired to lie.

And
When it was done,
I was alone.
She had gone home.
So
I typed DELETE.
Isn't it nice,
Unpaid advice?
