Continuity Becomes Our Legacy

or The More Things Change


No code upon the client, no,
Your browser's all you need.
But clear your cache! Make sure you know
You're patched and up to speed.

No ugly mainframe terminal,
No more CICS.
But JavaScript, HTML,
And PeopleCode, no less!

With objects all the rage...
Yet what's invoked so oft today
By modern Web-based page?

Who knew? So many years ago
When I was but a frosh—
The COBOL class I took would grow
More relevant, by gosh!
