Little Boxes (with apologies for parodying a satire, which somehow seems automatically suspect)
Little boxes on the mon'tor,
Little boxes made of pixel dust,
Little boxes, little boxes,
Little boxes, all the same.
There's a group one and a text one
And a check one and a dropdown one
And they're all made out of pixel dust
And they all look just the same.
And the people in the cub'cles
All went to the university,
And they all type in the boxes,
Little boxes, all the same.
And they select stuff and check stuff
And press that thar Enter key,
And they're all made out of pixel dust
And they all look just the same.
And they all read their manuals,
And invoke the online Help,
And they all have keyboard shortcuts,
And they use those styles in Word.
But the comes and hectors them
And sends them to Personnel,
Where they all get put in boxes
And they all come out the same.
