Sure, engineers have been stereotyped as nerdy, desperate, and dateless. But years ago, when I sat in class reading that Dilbert, I just snapped. Engineers aren't all sad and lonely, and just because I was sad and lonely didn't mean that everyone else was.
I post this poem to prove to all of us that love can be found anywhere, even soldered to a circuit board.
An Engineer's Valentine
by Matthew Dalton
I was alone and all was dark
Beneath me and above
My life was full of volts and amps
But not the spark of love
But now that you are here with me
My heart is overjoyed
You've turned the square of my heart
Into a sinusoid
You load things from my memory
Onto my system bus
My life was once assembly code
It's now like C++
I love the way you solder things
My circuits you can fix
The voltage 'cross your diode is
much more than just point six
With your op-amps and resistors
You have built my integrator
I cannot survive without you
You're my function generator
You've changed my world, increased my gain
And made my math discreet
So now I'll end my poem here
Control, Alt, and Delete
