An Ode for Programmers (apologies to Monty Python)

From a long lost t-shirt. Think Monty Python & the Holy Grail:

We're programmers of the Round Table.

We code when e're we're able.

We write specs and subroutines

With crashes rebootable.

We dine well in our cubes a lot.

Eat pizza with ham and jam and spam a lot.

We're programmers of the Round Table.

Our objects are formidable,

But many times we're given deadlines

That are quite unthinkable.

Were coding mad in Camelot.

We program in the dark a lot.
