With apologies to anyone who loves Neil Young; how often our grand schemes are killed by a schema:

• I caught your salesman
• walkin' onto our floor
• You love our software,
• want to buy some more?
• Ooh, ooh, the damage done.

• Buy not build, outsourced
• and we lost the band
• I watched the deathstar
• take another man
• Gone, gone, the damage done.

• I sing the song
• because I love the Web
• I know that some of you
• don't share the same head:
• Write code
• and keep from abstracting out.

• I've seen the BPEL
• and the damage done
• A little Oracle in everyone
• and every enterprise
• is like a setting Sun.
