Poems

Haiku:

Simple is the word
Only does one job very well
Why do any more work?

Limerick:

Unix was cool looking and different
but was difficult to understand
For doing everyday tasks,
were painful tasks in itself
But what is life without a few pains.

ix. Everyone’s a Poet

So, while I was on the plane the other day I decided to write my poems. Here they are…

- Write a haiku that describes the Unix Design Philosophy

The philosophy
to keep it simple stupid
perfect for design

- Write a limerick describing your personal experience with Linux/Unix or this class

Unix is something that is new to me
all I’m hoping for is at least a “B.”
There are pipes and shells,
even whistles and bells.
Just kidding — but wouldn’t that be funny?
