Analysis of Cheers



I like to drink to mingle and relax
And forget about my life's small cracks
The pub breaks down a daily tedium

so easily done without a sigh
the only cost is a pricey beer
but the end result is a welcome cheer.

I actually believe that writing a software program and writing a poem take on the same mental structure, I use the same methodology for each. Get an idea or be provided a specification, plan out the task, write the task, test (rewrite) the task until satisfied with the end result. more…
