Strangest Dream: End to Browser Wars?

(original lyrics by Ed McCurdy and known to most because of Paul Simon, thx guys)

Strangest Dream (Web version)

Last night I had the strangest dream
I’ve ever dreamt before
I dreamed we had all agreed
To put an end to browser war

I dreamed I saw a mighty room
Filled with women (but mostly men)
And the papers they were signing said
They’d not do specs wrong again

And when the specs all were signed
And a million copies made
Some joined hands and thought they’d have a prayer
About the specifications, made

And the people on the Web below
Were running up and down
While markup and scripting and browser wars
Were scattered all around

Last night I had the strangest dream
I’ve ever dreamt before
I dreamed that we had all agreed
To put an end to browser wars.

    Last night I dreamt of … hmmmmm … world peace. Yeah, world peace. That’s the ticket. However, near the end of the dream, I was murdered.

    Holzschlag and folk: Have a very Happy New Year.

    I like your poem Molly.

    SHH! Don’t mention the phrase “Browser Wars”! It’ll give the SciFi channel an idea for some lame mini-series!!

    Nice poem, Molly.

    Getting a bit religious about the browser disparities, are we? :-) I do like the fourth stanza; it’s got some brutal imagery!

    @lee, I’m surprised that hasn’t already happened. Really.

    @carolyn ann: “getting”? There’s a reason the term “evangelist” is used in the context of IT.

    @dean: With what I know of your broad musical tastes, I’m thinking you must know the original(s). Either way, thank you. You’re the code poet however. Not I.

    @all: A very happy New Year! xoxoM

  13. Markus says:

    Oh, what a dream. I think I’ve dreamt that before, too. I wish your and my dream will come true any time. Because I hate the war of the browsers. And I want peace forever. Let us all try to dream this kind of dream. Then it will come true sometime and there will be peace forever. Browsers: Make love not war!!!
