Here's something I found in the latest issue of "Sing Out!" (Vol. 30,
#1), by Steven Levine. It's sung to the tune of "Modern Major General"
of Gilbert & Sullivan fame:

I've built a better model than the one at Data General
For databases animal, vegetable, and mineral
My OS handles CPU's with multiplexed duality
My PL/I compiler shows impressive functionality
My storage system's better than magnetic core polarity
You needn't even bother checking out a bit for parity
There isn't any reason to install non-static floor matting
My disk drive has capactity for variable formatting

Chorus:

His disk drive has capacity for variable formatting... etc.

(That's all they printed; they claim there's more)

This doesn't scan right if I remember correctly; should be
"vegetable, animal, and mineral".  Forgive the nit-picking.
