Sorry to post something unoriginal… But while writing some code at work, I was reminded of this poem that I first read probably 6 or 7 years ago that has always been really funny to me. I wanted to post it here so I wouldn’t forget it again.

Note that I’ve found several versions of this poem online. This one seems to flow the best when read aloud. I can not guarantee the authenticity of the authors or whether this is the original version of the poem.
