- Le Morte D' Magnus and Ketil (part 1 of 318)
-
- Hark! He programmeth in Many Tounges!
- Upon Small Crawling Machines that knoweth not
- Of Multitasking, Flat Address Space of Thirty Two Bits,
- Yea! Even Page'd Memory!
- Upon Large Lumbering Machines, fast as Zeus'
- Lightning itself! Spinning endless webs,
- Coding, Compiling, Linking, and doth Executing.
-
- He wasteth Time! He feeds the Hungry Tract of
- Shub-Internet, Eater of Mankind's Soul!
- He posteth, and flameth, and createth Bogus Groups,
- He Pisseth Off the Keepers of the Net.
- He Ranteth in Meaningless Voice!
-
- He is not He Who Greppeth His Name in the News Articles,
- But Another. Yea! A Pair! From the northern clime,
- Far in the West. Upon fjords and majestic bluff,
- They Call the Net, Carv'd in Stone they will remain:
- Magnus and Ketil, All chant the Foreign Name!
