And the fate of data modellers in Joni's world? How about this.

         The tree of knowledge, it goes round and round,
         as its synthesised attributes go up and down.
         We are captive on the carousel of time O(n*log(n)).
         We can't return, we can only look, back from where we came,
         And give our walk of the tree some fancy name.[1]
