Ode to an Operating System

Looks like I rattled a few cages.

"He was only an operating system but one more is gone,
Leaving nobody to sing his sad song,
Leaving nobody to carry him on.
Only an operating system but one more is gone.

A blanket of core dumps covered his head,
A program status word showed where softly he bled,
Ain't it hard to look upon a computer gone lame,
To lie in the gutter and die with no name.

No one turned their head as they walked right on by,
His hard drive exposed as he stared at the sky,
His motherboard lay there for people to see,
His BIOS was gone and his kernel was free.

He was only an operating system but one more is gone,
Leaving nobody to sing his sad song,
Leaving nobody to carry him on.
Only an operating system but one more is gone."
