[Author's identity has been lost] rap it to the tune of "U Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer, and watch your phrasing.... :) (c) 1991 Radio Free Lerxstwood can't parse this my assignments hit me so hard make me say, "oh my lord thank you for blessin me with a load to code and a 2 hype seat" right here, in front of a Sparc looks good in the light, looks better in the dark but it tells me - in a manner quite harsh "This is a string I can't parse" (I told ya, kludge-boy) Can't Parse This (yea, a fatal error and you know) Can't Parse This (look at that code, maaaan) Can't Parse This (yo lemme bust some funky diagnostics) "fresh new bugs, and errors your code is more than compiler terror it's rotten - to the core i don't like it but you know i'll get more than i can handle hold on identifier not found or your semicolon's gone step back - step back can't you see i'm developing a crack in my hardware - your code's a farce cause this is a string I Can't Parse" (yo i told ya) Can't Parse This (why you sittin there, man) Can't Parse This (yo, sound the terminal bell, ya got mail, sucka) compile-time bugs disrupt my rhythm it's tellin me trash is what i'm givin him it's garbage, in and out but instead of a nice little a.out i get feedback fed back to me by this here RISC machine no fun what's it gonna take in the 90s to run these programs 4GLs? either learn those or wind up in hell that's longWORD because you know Can't Parse This Can't Parse This top-down! Stop! Compile Time! go with the flow it is said if you can't write in C then you probably are dead so wave K&R in the air waste a few nights, run your fingers thru your hair this is it no dinner - code like this and you'll surely get thinner sitting on your rump watch your machine cause it's gonna do a dump dump dump dump (core dumped) Can't Parse This Can't Parse This (ya better get Turbo cause I can't) I Can't Parse This (ring the bell, your mail's been returned) shutdown! Stop! Link Time! Can't Parse This Can't Parse This Can't Parse This slowdown! Stop! Run Time! every time I program it complains about my code maybe i'm in the wrong book or Emacs is in the wrong mode now i know that i'll never stop doing this cause our 3rd party software keeps on giving us fits i did an RTFM read K&R all day it's "Error!" "Big Error!" "Nasty Error!" "FATAL ERROR!" so instead i'll go and play Can't Parse This Can't Parse This I Can't Parse This (yeah) Can't Parse This (i told ya, wahoos,) Can't Parse This (too many symbols) Can't Parse This (yo, we're outa here) Can't P-- bus error (core dumped)
