Poem

LET us praise thee, Raspberry Pi
You're the true Apple of our eye
A computer made for you and me
Whose innards we can actually see
Allowing kids to write their code
In a backroom of their own abode
At last we are able to turn the pages
And leave behind the darkest of Ages
When giants like Apple and Microsoft
Held the keys to their castles aloft
And declared their computers No Go zones
As did the firms that sold us mobile phones
The results of this soon tragically showed
By stopping people who wanted to code
In schools they cut out an entire nation
Creation killed for a whole generation
Britain is still counting the cost
Of creativity needlessly lost
Which only now we can we begin to see.
Looking back on our gaming industry
Created by youngsters who'd cut their teeth
By having access to the code beneath
The BBC B and Spectrum machine.
Let's hope in coming years it will be seen
How kids let loose will start to make merry
Blowing a metaphorical Raspberry
At the walled gardens of yesteryear
Playing with their computers without fear
And, trust me, you will very soon see
An increase in the value of GDP.
