Poem
There was a man who did a deed, though not of hate, or even greed 'twas innocent, or so he thought 'til everyone was overwrought They crossed their arms and stomped their feet, one sent out an angry tweet another just unfriended him then instagram-med him looking grim He sank into a deep, deep funk how could one free of sin debunk these angry people's thought's about his deed, indeed he had some doubt Had he done wrong and misbehaved? Would his reputation, e'er be saved ? How could he fix this sorry state where all he knew, now all knew hate? His mind began to twist and turn he thought of all he'd ever learned of the mind of man (and woman too) what words would work, perhaps a few could he deploy to change their minds and quickly put this funk behind? And then, a spark; a flash of brilliance a solution that could work for millions! He'd write some code, something really cool not just fix his problem; he'd make a tool so the next time, well really, just in case he'd ever need to save some face he wouldn't have to think so much of right and wrong and hurt and such that took so long and felt so bad and made him feel so very sad And so he used some elbow-grease and wrote himself a masterpiece a java applet that all could use when they really needed a good excuse Just point it at your address book (though you may want to give it one quick look) and make sure your bosses' name ain't there though in truth, he probably wouldn't care to read your very personal regret or if he did, he'd likely forget Your mea culpa then gets sent to everyone who may resent your gaffe, or blunder or big faux pas whatever's making your nerves raw a personal email from you, to UNSUPPORTED CODE that simply says, I TAKE THE BLAME!
