The Buggy Bash (poem)

The Buggy Bash
By Thomas Bedran
I was working in my cube late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For a bug from the code, began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise

He did the bash, he did the buggy bash
The buggy bash, made the computer crash
He did the bash, a requirement clash
He did the bash, costing customers cash
He did the bash, he did the buggy bash

From where my computer sat in Colorado Springs
To the servers it connects out in Bunker East
Defects came from their hidden code
For me to find with my testing probes

He did the bash, he did the buggy bash
The buggy bash, made the computer crash
He did the bash, a requirement clash
He did the bash, costing customers cash
He did the bash, he did the buggy bash

If you’ve ever seen a bug before
That’s what testing a program is for
Don’t be afraid, don’t run and shout
Test them all and get the defects out

Get down with the buggy bash
Get down with the buggy bash
