Subject: Lyr Add: BYE-BYE MILLENNIUM PIE From: Roger in Baltimore Date: 23 Dec 99 - 06:56 PM My good friend Laura e-mailed these lyrics to me. Tom Paxton would call this a "short shelf-life song."
Millennium Pie
A long, long time ago...I can still remember, how computers used to make me smile.
CHO:
Can you write in C plus plus? And do you have faith in your local bus,
Now for 10 years we've ignored the threat and we haven't solved the problem yet
And while Bill Gates was looking pleased the government stole all his monopolies
Intel inside no longer makes sense, the Mac G4's are heaven sent.
Now we're sharpening pencils and writing fast. Our hands are tired and the fingers won't last
And as I watched him on my screen no cursor did I see.
The next day I met a girl with a cell phone and I asked her for a dial tone
And in the streets the children screamed, the lovers cried and the poets dreamed Hope I did all the line breaks nearly right. I can't remember all of American Pie, so this doesn't scan perfectly for me. Roger in Baltimore |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Bye, Bye, Millennium Pie From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 24 Dec 99 - 01:53 AM I met a girl with a cellular phone And asked her for a dial [die-uhl] tone But she flashed a rueful smile and turned away... scansion is easy if you work at it But lots of great stuff here, Roger. It's very much worth the effort of working it into shape... --seed |
