'Till We POST Again

Once upon a motherboard
Where things were simple, nothing more

Legacy BIOS, my old friend
Our time together's near its end
Those simple menus, black and white
Soon replaced by UEFI's light
But I remember how you'd start
With that beep that touched my heart

Oh, legacy BIOS, fading away
Like morning dew on a summer day
No Secure Boot or GPT
Just you and me, so wild and free
Those 16 bits were all we needed
Now you're slowly being succeeded

Remember POST codes, one by one?
And cylinder counting, oh what fun!
No fancy graphics, no mouse here
Just arrow keys held oh so dear
Four partitions were enough back then
When life was simpler, way back when

Times are changing, moving on
Soon you'll be completely gone
But in my heart you'll always be
The one that first booted me

Oh, legacy BIOS, fading away
Like morning dew on a summer day
No Secure Boot or GPT
Just you and me, so wild and free
Those 16 bits were all we needed
Now you're slowly being succeeded

Sweet dreams, my simple friend
Till we POST again
