The Bachelorette of the VLSI world Paulie Kristline, goal-oriented, super-achiever Is the much admired conceiver Of deftly crafted microcode On the XXX-666 At SillyCon, the restless abode Of many acclaimed wonder chips The Bachelorette of the VLSI world Is a veteran of ill-fated love And though her memory cells are swirled By old half-deleted files. She stays above Affairs of the heart. `Such softness,' She says, `Is an algorithm for unhappiness.' She seldom drinks. Doesn't smoke. Has switched from coke to diet-coke. `These days,' she says, `I get my kicks From high impact aerobics.' She shrugs off her single state By saying - `I'm not yet 28. The men I meet are so immature My cat Nietzsche is surely more Comforting with his silent presence Even cats outgrow their adolescence.' Her half reclusive life-style Punctuated by a perpetual smile Does not preclude the occasional date The odd fling, the stray affair Though, she is so careful to tear Herself away before its too late. But, beneath this outward carapace Of defiance and aloofness The deceptive cheer on her face Hides a growing loneliness. In rare moments of weakness She has been heard to confess The object of her heart's desires The elusive love to which she aspires `Someone who's nice to be with Someone I can talk to. Someone I can ski with.' Paulie's search for Mr Right For now must take second place. She has so many lines of code to write In only so much ROM space. *************** Source: Original Inder Bhasin
