"You are old," said the youth, "and your programs don't run,
And there isn't one language you like;
Yet of useful suggestions for help you have none --
Have you thought about taking a hike?"

"Every language looks equally bad;
Yet the people keep paying to read all my books
And don't realize that they've been had."
