the very model
For 10 years I have been looking for perfect rhyme to "Program Manager." This is for "Microsoft, The Musical" a hypothetical work involving lots of spoofs on existing musicals, much oratorios from balconies a la West Side Story, and of course an out-of-control dev project GONE WILD. See what you think of this (my apologies to RSS folks who can't see carriage returns)
I am the very model of a modern Program Manager
Keep marketing away from dev and who cares who gets mad at you
I know about our dev team and can override their tendencies
By opening my Project file and moving the dependencies
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters programmatical
I understand C# and VB syntax and grammatical
There's lots of cruft and kludgey code I know just what a hack this is
So I provide a way to get it done using best practices
(So she provides a way to get it done using best practices)
I recognize that feature creep is its own sentient being
It tries to live in viral ways and keep our schedule reeling
At times it seems the case is like revenge of body snatchers
Good thing I am the model of a modern Program Manager
(In short, the reason why it seems the whole world's crashing down on her, is
She's the very model of a modern Program Manager)
