> Intro : After thinking about that poor wretch who has become addicted to vi,
> I was inspired to compose the following ditty, sung to the tune of

> As you sing this, it may help the effect to imagine a dozen women,
> all of whom resemble Bill Joy, dressed in black and dancing
> sinuously.

> You press the keys with no effect,
> Your mode is not correct.
> The screen blurs, your fingers shake;
> You forgot to press escape.
> Can't insert, can't delete,
> Cursor keys won't repeat.
> You try to quit, but can't leave,
> An extra "bang" is all you need.
>
> You think it's neat to type an "a" or an "i"--
> Oh yeah?
> You won't look at emacs, no you'd just rather die
> You know you're gonna have to face it;
> You're addicted to vi!
>
> You edit files one at a time;
> That doesn't seem too out of line?
> You don't think of keys to bind--
> A meta key would blow your mind.
> H, J, K, L? You're not annoyed?
> Expressions must be a Joy!
> Just press "f", or is it "t"?
> Maybe "n", or just "g"?
>
> Oh--You think it's neat to type an "a" or an "i"--
> Oh yeah?
> You won't look at emacs, no you'd just rather die
> You know you're gonna have to face it;
> You're addicted to vi!
>
> Might as well face it,
> You're addicted to vi!
> You press the keys without effect,
> Your life is now a wreck.
> What a waste! Such a shame!
> And all you have is vi to blame.
