Did I ever tell you that Programmer McCave
Had twenty-three variables and named them all `a`
Well, the programmer did. And that wasn't a smart thing to do.
You see, when the programmer wants to add `a` to 2
The programmer doesn't get a number oh no no no
All twenty-three `a`s cause a buffer overflow
This makes things quite difficult at the McCaves'
As you can imagine, with so many `a`s.
And often the programmer wishes that, while coding,
The programmer hadn't ignored that sense of foreboding
And called one of them runCount, And one of them lastNum
And one of them allSales and another roundSum
And one of them lastId, and another userNames
And one subnetMask, or numStartedGames
Any old names would actually do
even if they were just `bar` or `foo`
And adding hyphens or humble underscores
The programmer could have come up with so many more!
Like read_app_config_from_this_file_name
But no, the programmer went and called them all the same
If only the programmer hadn't given into the hype
And used a language strongly typed
The programmer would have avoided this horrible fate
But didn't and so now it's too late.
There, FTFY. People will still think the programmer is a male, but now it's their own damn bias at fault :)
