GUEST,Hilary Computer parodies (51* d) RE: Computer parodies 08 Dec 18


Mentioned in my students' introductory folklore textbook:

"Father, dear Father, come home with me now,
The clock in the steeple strikes one.
You promised to come straight home from the lab,
As soon as your homepage was done."

It's obviously a parody of this song: http://www.fresnostate.edu/folklore/ballads/R308.html

I don't know if there are any more verses.
