Spencer the Coder Thursday, September 30, 2010

Recorded 03 August 2007 During my wilderness years I did very little composing or playing... however sometimes I would play around with a song, and here, inspired by life as a programmer at the 3DO company, I came up with this variant on "Spencer the Rover". --- This tune was composed by Spencer the Coder As valiant an engineer as ever left home He had been much producerd which caused great confusion And that was the reason he never went home In the bay near San Francisco he'd been on a project When weary of working he sat down to rest By the foot of yon stairwell lies a snack vending machine When he had the change it all went well With the night fast approaching to his desk he resorted With sleeping bag and pillow his bed for to make But he dreamt of outside lamenting and crying "Go back to your family and coding forsake" 'Twas the fifth day of Noverember a reason to remember When first he arrived home to his family and friends They did stand so astounded, suprised and dumbfounded To see such a stranger once more in their sight And his children they come around him with their pritle-pratlin stories With their pritle-pratlin stories to drive care away And he's as happy as those with thousands of worthless shares Contented he'll remain and not ramble away This tune was composed by Spencer the Coder As valiant an engineer as ever left home He had been much producerd which caused great confusion And that was the reason he never went home
