1 Many a man has fallen in love with a girl in a light so dim he would

5 I saw a man pursuing the Horizon,
|
|
|
6 'Round and round they sped.
|
|
|
7 I was disturbed at this,
|
|
|
8 I accosted the man,
|
|
|
9 "It is futile," I said.
|
|
|
10 "You can never--"
|
|
|
11 "You lie!" He cried,
|
|
|
12 and ran on.

18 "You tried it just for once, found it alright for kicks,
|
|
|
19 but now you find out you have a habit that sticks,
|
|
|
20 you're an orgasm addict,
|
|
|
21 you're always at it,
|
|
|
22 and you're an orgasm addict."

25 No plain fanfold paper could hold that fractal Puff --
|
|
|
26 He grew so fast no plotting pack could shrink him far enough.
|
|
|
27 Compiles and simulations grew so quickly tame
|
|
|
28 And swapped out all their data space when Puff pushed his stack frame.
|
|
|
29 (refrain)
|
|
|
30 Puff, he grew so quickly, while others moved like snails
|
|
|
31 And mini-Puffs would perch themselves on his gigantic tail.
|
|
|
32 All the student hackers loved that fractal Puff
|
|
|
33 But DCS did not like Puff, and finally said, "Enough!"
|
|
|
34 (refrain)
|
|
|
35 Puff used more resources than DCS could spare.
|
|
|
36 The operator killed Puff's job -- he didn't seem to care.
|
|
|
37 A gloom fell on the hackers; it seemed to be the end,
|
|
|
38 But Puff trapped the exception, and grew from naught again!

41 Puff the fractal dragon was written in C,
|
|
|
42 And frolicked while processes switched in mainframe memory.
