DIALOG
"Mighty machine, I have returned,
Though my last offering was spurned.
You, whom I thought to have befriended,
You read my job and then abended.
"Ungrateful wretch, I made you great
And raised you to your high estate.
And reckless, burned the midnight oil
Through long man-centuries of toil.
"Once absolute I used to pour,
Into you reader's gaping maw.
And when you said this would not do
In BAL I wrote for you.
"Control cards now you did request,
Which to supply I did my best.
Though no one knew what they were for,
Just that you always wanted more.
"Ascii, Ebcdic, BCD,
Cobol, Fortran, RPG,
Into your reader's I've supplied
And still you are not satisfied.
"For if to you twelve jobs I send
One half will loop, while six abend.
What I submit, you soon reject.
Why can't you treat
with respect?
Then answered him the Great Machine:
"The junk you send I've often seen:
To find a worse mess can't be done
(Always excepting PL/1).
"Your errors, never mind how slight--
Why should I have put them right?
Despite your curses, I'm your tool;
It's not my fault if you're a fool.
"I have important things to do--
Production, and time sharing too,
Data base, communications,
And other gainful occupations.
"No space or time I'll waste on you
Who never think before you do.
See, your program's bombed once more,
So here's your dump, and there's the door!"
