The Programmer

if...then, why? No, never "why"!
for i, who me? No, "i".
What does it do? When did I write it?
I mustn't make changes, it works now, it works!
I can't quite see how, I don't know what I did,
It must have been clever, it's really well hid.

do...while, while what? There's a thought!
select...case, select what case?
It doesn't make sense now, I'm sure once it did.
At least it compiles, so it doesn't quite matter,
Though reading it now, makes me mad, like the hatter.

public class, when? An object! Not School!
final static, what? Constantly seen.
I can hack it some more, but don't want it to break.
Though I can't quite explain it, it fills me with pride,
I've even composed it, just 80 chars wide...
