THE TIME is now
To IBM we bow Not a question of how It's IBM's scared cowWayland in a Ubuntu hippopotamus distro
IBM no master but maestro
Systemd was just the intro
Init system turned full bistro
Modularity down the drain
Old programs and scripts out in the rain
Opposition is hatred, not disdain
Come aboard, it's the IBM train
"Choo choo" goes the IBM locomotive
Smile, you nerds, show you're emotive
Vendor lock-in by no means destructive
Our software patents are 'open' and inventive
The final destination unknown to many
Too many questions asked by the canny
CentOS reduced to a penny
Fedora is next, but it looks a little zenny
The webchats are now rebranded a "summit"
Our shares and our headcount continue to plummet
Masters of the universe, kings of the planet
Attracted to money like paperclip to a magnet
Krishna and Allowhurst man the top deck
Staff using GMail? Hey, what the HECK?!
We name our products "Watson", homage to a dreck
While at the same time our GPL suppliers we smack
The endgame not far
We've lowered the bar
Patents are a guiding star
We'll monopolise the OS, Wunderbar! ⬆
