   Along the same lines as Tenley's very nice work, here's something I
picked up from rec.humor.funny a few months back.  Think of it as equal
time for the other side of the "are tables evil?" debate.

         Table Hell
            by
        Howard Cohen

I need a song for table hell
To help me solve and then feel well
About this mess of cell and row
Whose misconstruction is my woe

I need a song for table hell
That finds the unclosed h-t-m-l
A chant, a mantra, a song to cope
Might shed some light, or so I hope

I need a song for table hell
To sing as I search so I don't yell
Oh Weblint help me! Find this mote!
But it says too much; my search is rote

I need a song for table hell
For now I feel it's where I fell
Open? close? which one was pending?
I wish this nested pain was ending...

I need a song for table hell
To help me find that unclosed cell
The search, it sets my mind awhirl
One more hour and I'm gonna hurl

And then, I find it.  A missing cell close.
Amid three nested tables and rows,
With colspan, rowspan and empty cell,
I know I'll be back to table hell
