q. Higher management thought I was a great idea,
Of course without any technical evaluation.
You were encouraged to use me lock, stock, and barrel;
But soon it was realized I was a huge frustration.
Then I was shelved with the other misfit silver bullets;
To be replaced with something that really works.
Now Iβm just a memory of what should not have been,
and the only mention of me is with disdain and smirks!

q. Iβm not a type of insect, although Abe Lincoln might call me so.
Iβm an expert with the keyboard, with XSL, and SQL as you know.
I have an internal heater therefore I can never get a hint of cold;
Iβve been shot numerous times by bands that Iβve gotten quite bold.
Iβm leaving the country now, but Iβll still be somewhere around;
You might not see my face, as such, but I can be digitally found.
