There was this client from Notre Dame
who asked to code up something lame
I looked at him with weary eyes
and asked him if that's all he’ll buy

He said its just for fun n games
his actual work didn’t need ITs pain
But yet he feels the web’s a rule
n every business needs this tool

I quickly sketched what came to mind
He liked it and said ill pay u fine
I put my zeal into the work
lest later on he changed the perk

But sad that day he said to me
Ron that project..lets wait n see
i glibly said ok thats fine
and tried to simply pass the time

I prayed to God oh please help me
This delay does not work with me
Please work on him to change his mind
Give me the solace of cash n kind

Few days passed and client replied
Hey Ron the TV crews are nigh
i need that simple site of mine
so might as well get a page out fine

I clapped my hands in earnest glee
and wrote markup with a JS reel
and as the project drew to a close
i mused in silence and repose

But still the bucks took time to brew
while i did the logo, perl and hue
and since the cheque was post dated true
i sat and cried a big boo hoo.
