The Solitary Coder

Behold him, single, in his self
Yon, solitary techie lad
coding and coding by himself
finally soon to become a grad
alone he codes and smacks his brain
singing like a Frogie in the rain
Ah! just ten more days to go
then no more of compiler's show

No coder did ever chaunt
who takes this compiler's class
scared when the project haunts
no more poems for the poetic lass
A bawl so loud was never heard
from this very padaku nerd
breaking the silence on this blog
when he was supposed to go n slog

Will some one tell me why?
I make my own ADI C compiler
when I myself "compile" my
code using the mr. GNU C compiler
Or is it some great noble lay
the most un-familiar matter of today??
Ah! feels like some sorrow loss or pain
That has been and will never happen again

Finally an end to the two long years
As I debug the "compiled" compiler code
only accomplice being the Heineken beer
always there, when I miss the busy ode
I sit and code motionless and still
waiting to get over this hill
The music in the heart I bore
Long after it was heard no more
