The following contains SERENITY SPOILERS!!!

So, you can probably guess it's a Firefly filk. Also, ose. I wanted to write something about Kaylee, and then it got warped.
Tune: Original.

I think life is an apple you hold in your hand.
Tell me, isn't is sweet? Tell me, isn't it grand?
But with one careless bite, you might just understand
How life can blow you to shreds.

Wrote the following during a course about a real-time OS called VxWorks (NASA wrote the Mars Lander with it!). One of my fellow students started singing "tShell, my belle", and I couldn't help but pick up the gauntlet.
Tune: Beatles' "Michelle, Ma Belle"

tShell, ma belle,
Turned my life into a living hell,
My tShell.

tShell, ma belle,
All the other tasks are stuck on PEND,
my tShell.

I need to, I need to, I need to,
I need to get this done.
Can't think of silly puns;
Until I do, my sanity will have to hold up.

tShell, oh well –
Nothing's working so I might as well
Kill tShell.

Reboot, you brute!
I know something rotten is afoot –
To the root!

I killed you, I killed you, I killed you,
And yet you wouldn't die.
I don't know how or why,
So I will press the only key to which you deign to respond
My tShell.

Once we all were children, and so it was we played,
But then I had to grow up and I left you where you stayed.
I married my dear James, the bravest man I've ever known,
And had my Darling Angela, a daughter of my own.

We are like the lotus
Rising from the swamp,
Emerging to a life
So filled with strife,
We're thoughtless, dumb and damp.
We were elves, and now we're tainted, soiled;
Orcs are Middle-Earthly lotus,
Born to toil.

Now the Grand Trunk stretches across the land
Pushing the message on.
And the towers need every working hand
To push the message on.
And you're far too young, and you're far too bright,
But it's far away and the pay's all right,
So you find yourself spending endless nights
Pushing the message on.

And you've left behind you your childhood's home
To direct the messages' restless roam
As you're pushing the message on.

I am but a simple programmer, with logic to my mind,
So when I looked back as I walked, I never thought to find
A vampire a-stalkin' me, and closing up behind
To come and suck my blood!
But…
On my Palm there's Holy Java,
Glory to the Holy Java,
With the use of Holy Java
The vampire will be mud!
