A filk on “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”, by the Beatles:
I look at the term and I see the prog’s sleeping
While the GC gently sweeps
I look at the code and I see it needs cleaning
Still the GC gently sweepsI don’t know why nobody told you
how to GC incrementally
I don’t know how someone could code you
they bought and sold youI look at the box and I notice it’s beeping
While the GC gently sweeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still the GC gently sweepsI don’t know how you did get coded
you were very twisted too
I don’t know how you were invented
no one ever tested youI look at your code and can see the bugs sleeping
While the GC gently sweeps
I look at your code
Still the GC gently sweeps
While getting the idea for the filk, I was thinking of a Lisp program, but during writing it turned out to be a Java one… :-P
