Lyrics
VERSE 1:
Attention troops, hear the bugle sound!
Four point one point one has stood its ground
Once we parsed the code directly, line by line
Making sure assistive tech could read each sign
But progress marched, technology advanced
Now browsers do the parsing dance!
CHORUS:
Sound retreat! Sound retreat!
Parsing’s job is now complete
WCAG two point two has set it free
Browsers handle what we used to need
Four point one point one, your duty’s done
Rest in peace, the battle’s won!
VERSE 2:
Remember when we checked each bracket and tag?
Made sure the markup never had a lag?
“Well-formed” was our battle cry each day
But modern tech has shown a better way
What once would fail this test so strict
Now fails elsewhere – the rules conflict!
CHORUS:
Sound retreat! Sound retreat!
Parsing’s job is now complete
WCAG two point two has set it free
Browsers handle what we used to need
Four point one point one, your duty’s done
Rest in peace, the battle’s won!
BRIDGE/OUTRO:****
Info and Relationships stands the test
Name, Role, Value does the rest
The old guard changes, standards grow
Salute the past, but forward go!
(Bugle plays taps)
Four point one point one… farewell!
