Al vida - an ode to Microsoft

Farewell my friends... my friends...

Even though they called us fiends

I never sensed any evil ends


Just a slow march to mediocrity

A sense of extreme complacency

At the height of our ascendancy


Down and hard you fall, seems to take no time at all...

So said David Gilmour

I couldn't agree with more


Seems more and more true

As the B's begin to rule

And the A's pass through


Goodbye... so long.. farewell...

Softie to a Noogler swell

The frog has jumped the well!

Written just before I left for Google. 

Two painful years later I was back to Microsoft, a very very different Microsoft!
