This isn't the one requested, but I wrote this for our fortune file after
finding the first verse there.
Ah, look at all the lonely users.
Ah, look at all the lonely users.
Eleanor Rigby; Sits at the keyboard and waits for a line on the screen
Lives in a dream
Waits for a signal, finding some code that will make the machine do some more.
What is it for?
All the lonely users, where do they all come from?
All the lonely users, why does it take so long?
Hacker MacKensie; Writing the code for a program that no one will run
It's nearly done
Look at him working, Fixing the bugs in the night when there's nobody there.
What does he care?
All the lonely users, where do they all come from?
All the lonely users, why does it take so long?
Ah, look at all the lonely users.
Ah, look at all the lonely users.
Eleanor Rigby; Her program crashed leaving no trace in core or on disk.
She's really pissed.
Hacker MacKensie; Wiping the bits from the tape as he dismounts the drive.
Nothing was archived.
All the lonely users, where do they all come from?
All the lonely users, why does it take so long?
