A limerick and a sleepless night

**fingal** · 03-22-2005

Hello there!

I couldn't sleep last night, so in desperation and despair decided to try and write a limerick. I went to sleep before the final line (that's what I was hoping for!) If anyone wants to complete, be my guest

Bill Gates had a terrible dream
that a penguin invaded his team.
It made the code free
for Windows XP

That is a nice limerick - I like it, but if you can't sleep at night try reading a microsoft manual - that should do the trick.

Yes, I've ended many a sleepless night that way. Okay, one more for the road before I do some work!

Torvalds, while hacking the kernel,
compiling its elegant lines,
fell off his chair
and, displaying great flair,
re-coded the ext3 file journal

See ya

Ha, that was actually pretty good, both of them... you should get a job doing that for some linux magazine or something

Thanks! I'm a frustrated writer really - I've found that I actually need to write. It stops me from going mad in a mad world

And creativity is the one thing I respect more than any other
