 Subject:     ode to a prototyper

there once was this member of Metering
whose strength she did feel was petering
for the prototyping fight
sapped all her might
and she was always cold from the lack of BNR heatering

now this Meter Maid was doing her best
considering her workload left little time for rest
but as the days became leaner
she felt herself growing meaner
for she wanted to write Protel and test

so she plugged on with kludging in Smalltalk
until she felt she should stop and take full stock
of what could be done but should not
else what should be done just would not
and knew that with Paul she must talk

so this member of Metering, she spoke out,
made her stand, mind free of doubt
that proto boundaries were needed
and if her warnings were not heeded
CM Metering would be on the way out

so now these limits, they were defined
she just may make ID right on time
with the proto in hand
a chance she did stand
and thusly she ends this fair rhyme

                                   anonymous

<...now if only the rest of you didn't waste all your time reading
 stupid cocos, this team just might get some work done...>
