This one has been kicking around arpanet for a LONG time. Not only
is it old but the guy who re-typed it got it WRONG!

The verse in question is:

	I wrote some hacks in MACRO
	With VVOs galore!
	One plays nim on the console lights
	While the other zeroes core!

It's not VVO, it's UUO (which I believe stands for Undefined
User Opcode (you get a bad opcode interrupt - you can use them
for system calls)), which some Dec Field Circus engineers
call "yo-yos". They can be found on PDP-10s and their descendents...
