I was wondering since a long time how it might feel to be a developer for WOFF,
with so little time and such a small crew, and then still so much to get ready and done -
while the fans are ever only asking their menacing "when, when, when will it be ready?"
So I started rhyming these Limerick-style lyrics, which could be sung on some old fashioned melody
(don't thry that famous Stones song - it won't fit - I just borrowed their title).
I hope some of you will come up with more verses.
I know mine are no proper English, but I guess they are understood. Come on, start rhyming!
SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVEL
I wonder how it feels to be a devel
Your life must be on quite a diff'rent level
The others have the fun
fly your airplanes in the sun
whilst you can't sleep before some more is done.
Each time when you have got a new thing ready
You're happy 'bout your progress going steady
You go and shoot the screens
Then you post the finest scenes
But they're like kids - "when is it ready, daddy?!?"
Nutrition's too much coffee, smoke and baked beans
Your family and holidays in Smithereens
Your life is really tough
You only breathe for WOFF
And now your mouse-click-finger is just falling off.
