Dilemma

Composer: Roger D. Linder
I like to code and I like to write But something tells me the the time's not right To do them both would be a task A simpler time is what I would ask I code a line, then write a song Before I'm done it all goes wrong The code has bugs, the song, no tune I must come up with something better soon Infinite loop, that takes some time While it's running, I'll try a rhyme The CPU is all worn out I must consider a different route I toss the words at an AI The tune it makes is all cockeyed No one will ever sing that song Once again, it all goes wrong A writing partner could take the load But I have never taken that road A solo work is all I've sought But falling behind puts me on the spot Lay down the pen, back to the keys Whatever I code I hope will please It may not rhyme, but distraction free I write the program, now easily The moral, I guess, is not to do A bunch at once, not even two Focusing, I will succeed To stay aware, I will accede

@mikeb - 2024-08-02 Ha! Wish I could do less than half a dozen things at one time! Nice parallel between programming/songwriting!
