The Bug Of The Years

By Gilbert Healton

Three programs for the Elven-Users of E-mail,
Seven for the Dwarf-users in their valley of silicon,
Nine for Mortal Programmers doomed to flail,
One for the Dark Number on its dark throne
In the Year 2000 where the programs fail.
 
One Bug to rule them all, One Bug to find them,
One Bug to crash them all and in hysteria, bind them
In the Year 2000 where the programs fail.
