If the Beatles were Programmers

     Eleanor Rigby
     -------------
     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?

     Guru MacKenzie
     Typing the lines of a program that no one will run;
     Isn't it fun?
     Look at him working,
     Munching some chips as he waits for the code to compile;
     It takes a while...

     All the lonely users, where do they all come from?
     All the lonely users, why does it take so long?

     Eleanor Rigby
     Crashes the system and loses 6 hours of work;
     Feels like a jerk.
     Guru MacKenzie
     Wiping the crumbs off the keys as he types in the code;
     Nothing will load.

     All the lonely users, where do they all come from?
     All the lonely users, why does it take so long?
