THE LAST BUG
-"But you're out of your mind,"
-They said with a shrug.
-"The customer's happy;
-What's one little bug?"
-
-But he was determined.
-The others went home.
-He spread out the program,
-Deserted, alone.
-
-The cleaning men came,
-The whole room was cluttered
-With memory-dumps, punch cards.
-"I'm close," he muttered.
-
-The mumbling got louder,

-Just change one instruction."

-It still wasn't perfect,
-As year followed year,
-And strangers would comment,
-"Is that guy still here?"

-And the last bug in sight,
-An ant passing by,
-Saluted his tombstone,
-And whispered, "Nice try."
