Lyrics

  1. From a small local school with some beige-colored halls,
  2. Came a kid with a name that would crash protocol.
  3. He was sharp with a script and a mischievous grin,
  4. Typed a line in a form — and the chaos begins.
  5. It read: Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;--
  6. And the whole system froze when his login was done.
  7. They looked at the logs and they whispered, “Oh no,”
  8. As the records all vanished in one fatal blow.
  9. And the backup was gone,
  10. And the network was fried,
  11. While the techs on call softly cried.
  12. And the code should have checked
  13. What the user had hid —
  14. But they trusted too much in the Kid.
  15. They brought in some experts with badges and suits,
  16. Who all blamed the devs for their poorly built roots.
  17. They talked sanitizing, they murmured in dread,
  18. As their queries returned all their columns as "dead."
  19. So let this be a tale for the coder to heed:
  20. Validate all your inputs with diligence, please.
  21. Or you might wake one day with your tables all bare,
  22. And the ghost of young Bobby still crashing somewhere.
  23. Now the forums still warn,
  24. And the devs still recall,
  25. How one line of code wrecked it all.
  26. So beware of the fields
  27. That accept what you did...
  28. And remember the tale of the Kid.
