 Fixing Some Bugs on a Sunday Evening

   by David A. Lyons, January 1994
   (with apologies to Robert Frost)

Whose bugs these are I think I know,
But now he works at 3DO;
He will not see me working here
To fix his code and make it go.

The saner folk must think it queer
To trace without the source code near
After a launch and frozen mouse
The weirdest stack crawl of the year.

I give my nodding head a shake
To see if I can stay awake.
The only other thing to do
Is find some more caffeine to take.

This bug is pretty hard to nip,
But I have other ones to fix,
And tons to go before we ship,
And tons to go before we ship.


(Note:  Hey, it's fiction.  Close to reality in spirit, but does not
refer to a specific project, bug, Sunday, or brand of soft drink.)
