Title    : Fork()ing on a Sun
Original : Seasons in the Sun
Group    : Terry Jacks
Author   : aem@aber.ac.uk (Alec David Muffett)
Intro    : Here's a little ditty I penned back in 1987 when I was first
           getting to grips with IP (and killing the machine at the same time).
           If you don't recognise the words well enough to get the tune, you
           weren't born...  as for pronunciation, pronounce "vi" as "vye" -
           that way, the song scans properly.  No flames, please... 
           The chorus is a wonderful thing to sing in pubs (bars) when you
           and a group of hackers get together, because it is eminently recog-
           nisable, but no-one outside your group will have the foggiest idea
           what you're on about...
           [fragment]
Song     :

		Goodbye my shell, it's hard to "vi",
		I cannot socket(), even though I try,
		Everything keeps going wrong...
		It needs a bind() to carry on,
		Proc' table's been full for too long.

	Chorus:
		We had Joy, We had fun,
		We were fork()ing on a Sun,
		but the joy is all gone,
		'til the processes are Done [1].
