Oh princess of code,
Why hast thou hidden thy soothing embrace,
Wiping the code from my vi space.
 
Oh hoyden of code,
I loved thee so once.
Let us rekindle our affair,
So that I may spew FORTH some good stuff.
 
Oh mistress of code,
How I miss your indentions and white space,
Your run time efficiency and voluptuous code space.
 
Oh my precious code,
I once loved computers,
in a simpler time.
How I treasure your mnemonics.
 
Oh my angel of code,
You must find what you love,
Where can I find thee, 
Oh fleeting soulmate.
Hello World!
 
Oh my beautiful code,
with your RAM so accessible,
10 DATA 0x0, 0xBA, 0xB4
 
Oh my maiden of code,
With thy big O notation,
I long for your data structures.
And your al gore rhythms.
 
Oh my obfuscated temptress of code,
How tantalizing are thy templates,
Your standard library is a beautiful mystery.
 
Oh my Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code,
20 Goto 30
30 REM 
 
Oh my dainty flower of code,
How doest I love thee,
Let me iterate the ways.
Why const thy see,
 
Oh joyous code,
Thy mutable static members, though so enticing,
What a hideous shame to share as public members.
Hide thy container classes from me!
 
Oh my late night vixen of abstraction,
What a fiend thou hast become.
Why doest thou no longer compile warning free?
Why doest thou throw run time exceptions?
Why does thou no longer love me back?

A Thing of Beauty

Oh empress of emulation,
Your spline curves so divine.
My hard drive's immolation,
I ENTER with infinite recursion.
