Here's is my modified version of the "Software Professional Love Poem".
It's best when you read it next to the original and compare the changes I
made.
Enjoy.

Sweet-CPU,
I saw you yesterday while I was grepping the source of my
platform and I realized that you are the only struct I was awking for.
For a long time I've been blocking, waiting to find a
bug in my life, and now you can be my gdb.
My life is just an uncompiled program, my cpu spinning
on locks long held,
You are my compiler, my kill(1) - without which I would
be useless.
Your design is not only object oriented, but all your
code is POSIX compliant as well.
Your smiley face is so delightfull which encourages me and
gives me cycles with which to outperform thousands of
mainframe computers.
When your fingered me last evening, I felt like all of my
shared libraries were in such harmony that I had obtained
nirvana.
/* which I never experienced before */.
With this e-mail, I just want to callrpc that, if [ ld you.o me.o ] ; then
I'll satisfy all of your external references, and it would be my pleasure
to supply a few function pointers as callbacks.
Also don't bother about the firewall which may be created by
our parents as I've strong scripting capabilities by which I'll
ultimately crack their /etc/passwd and assert(agree == 1) for
our union.
I anticipate that nobody is already logged in to your snmp daemon so that
my login attempt will fail. And its all certain that if this happened to
me, I will panic.
Kindly interpret this lalr grammar properly and "chmod g+srwx $YOUR_INBOX;
chgrp $MYGROUP $YOURINBOX"
Yours /bin/truly,
UNIX Professional
