A Programmer's Manifesto

One fine day, I set out to code,
having got the goals as an ode.
Told my team the time has come,
to exhibit talent and to get it all done.

Page 1 predicts and page 10 contradicts,
what do I do, that the deadline has come!
The specification is partly new and rest just old,
Who would know what to review!

I try my best to press forward
taking along the challenges, as I proceed.
On this way, lies that boulder,
calls itself a manager!

Messengers, spreadsheet and internet to browse,
meetings exist to keep the boulder on toes.
I am happy for at least I have the tools,
and know the technologies to make things close.
