  • The Sunday Poem: The BASICs of life

    10 Dimension all your variables, figure out their sides.
    20 Remark, perhaps, on how data twirls across divides.
    30 Print a hello world, as if the world could not read cursive;
    40 Go to thirty, looped but still printed, not recursive.
    50 For once you have some code that doesnโ€™t do much else,
    60 Next youโ€™ll want to make it special, of yourself.
    70 Data will be read, perhaps, or Fibonacci spun,
    80 While you tally figures until the job is done.
    90 Poke a byte, peek a bit, nybble โ€˜til youโ€™re through,
    100 End with too few memories, dimensions still unused.
