Title    : A Time for DWIM
Original : A Time for Us
Group    : theme song from Romeo and Juliet
Author   : Guy L. Steele Jr.
Intro    : 
Song     : 

                 A Time for DWIM

           [to be sung to the tune of
                  A Time for Us
       (theme song from Romeo and Juliet)]


A time for DWIM
There'll never be;
   No clever code
   This losing mode
Can UNDO for me.

This "golden hope"
(To be denied)
   Could never
Correctly fix the bugs my programs hide.

A way for bugs
There'll never be
To fix with generality.

So to this DWIM
Let's say farewell;
   The crocks therein
   Prove it can't win
And ring its knell:

Do What I Mean
Is just a ruse --
   It really
Means only: Fix How Teitelman doth Lose!
