Ode to Bill

Oh Bill, the Great And Powerful, Thou hast reaped where Thou has not sowed.
It takes a nerd of utmost power to get what you are owed.
Your tousled hair is cut, no doubt,
By your local barber at 10 bucks a clout.
Your wire frames and baby face,
I cannot fully write upon, even if I had the space.
Your name is all powerful, unmentionable, incomprehensible, BILL.
But I wonder if in 10 years your OS will be here, still.
There is, if you will notice,
An old OS with a new modus
Operandi wrapped in new swaddling
Called Linux, while you were dawdling
With Windows 98 (it doesn't work).
You Magnificent Jerk,
You should have used it rather than be content
With a software wheel you reinvent.
Still, Bill, we love you and pay
Homage to the Nerd
In our day
Who was The Beginning and The (MS) Word.
You proved that nerds don't have to live off canned spaghetti
And can be super rich like J. Paul Getty.
Regedit dos Vobiscum,
Acid el eti fitu, vudin ju?
