I worked on Y2K projects and I really enjoyed your poem.
:There's not much time, there's too much code, And COBOL-coders, few.
When the century is finished,
We may be finished, too.
Emphasis on the "may". Big trouble may come, or it may not. There is a lot of effort going into fixing that problem now.
I view it much as the threat of a meteor destroying most life on earth. The threat is real, but the possibility is remote. I lose no sleep over it.
There will be a hit, but the effects should be minor.
