I’ll Make a Coder Out of You Inspired by Mulan’s “I’ll Make a Man Out of You”
By Maddie Stambler

Let's get down to business
To solve some APT’s
Did they send me English majors
When I asked for Computer Scientists?
You're the saddest coders
I ever met
But you can bet
Before we're through
Students, I'll make a programmer
out of you

Focused as an eagle
But on fire within
Once you snarf the folder 
you are ready to begin
You're a rambunctious, slow
useless lot
And you don’t understand the concepts
Somehow I'll make a programmer
out of you

I'm never gonna get
this code
Say good-bye to those
who knew me
Boy, was I a fool 
for cutting lecture
Professor Rodger’s got 'em
debugging to death
Hope she can’t see
right through my computer screen
Now I really wish that I
didn’t spend so much time on Facebook

(Be a coder)
I must be efficient as
a list comprehension
(Be a coder)
With all the force
of a nested for loop
(Be a coder)
With all the strength
of a key-value pair
Complicated as 
Assignment 8

Time is racing toward you
till midnight arrives
Work several days ahead
and you might be able to finish
You can’t seem to grasp 
the logic of coding
So close eclipse, go home
you're through
How will you ever get your results to go green?
