    Elizabeth sits in a closet now
    and the blissful memories fade
    visions of objects and mime-types
    and the neat little scripts that i made

    Hope for the future has past
    from my elegant blue Beth
    to various *n*x machines
    what little hope I have left

    For as much as gnu's full of bounty
    and the empire looks to fall from it's hill
    I remember a time that was simpler
    only a BeBox my wish could fulfill
