i got the box right here

I seldom repost items in their entirety, but this is so good…

From Greg Costikyan’s blog, which is called “Games * Design * Art * Culture”, and should be added to your blogroll immediately.

I GOT THE BOX RIGHT HERE sung to the tune of “I Got the Horse Right Here”
by Greg Costikyan, with apologies to Frank Loesser

I trust in Microsoft, I got a Wintel box,
We’ve come a long way since the days of DOS.
We got the user base, we got the apps that rate
And all the best games you can play to date.

CHORUS:
My box is best, there’s no doubt it beats the rest.
It triumphs on every test.
My box is best.

I love my Macintosh, because Jobs’s da boss
And ease of use puts it at the top.
Besides it makes the scene because it’s tangerine
The chicks all dig it, it’s a cool machine.

(Repeat CHORUS)

I code for BSD, because it’s free, you see
And open source makes for stability
I email rms, I got his net address
And there ain’t no doubt my OS is best.

(Repeat CHORUS)

(Repeat three main verses as a round, ending in CHORUS).
