Too Many `a`s (with apologies to Dr Seuss)
(Original here http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/171612)
Did I ever tell you that Programmer McCave
Had twenty-three variables and he named them all `a`
Well, he did. And that wasn't a smart thing to do.
You see, when he wants wants to add `a` to 2
He doesn't get a number oh no no no
All twenty-three `a`s cause a buffer overflow
