PICT

In the land of Macintosh, long ago, A format was born, a way to show, Graphics and text, all in one place, PICT was its name, with style and grace. With QuickDraw commands, it came to be, A series of codes, for all to see, Compact and efficient, PICT 1 it was, With byte opcodes, a memory buzz. But Macintosh grew, and colors came, PICT 2 emerged, with a brand new name, 16-bit opcodes, a utility boost, Enhancing PICT's power, from coast to coast. A picture could be recorded with ease, Commands encoded, like a gentle breeze, Saved as a resource, to play back later, PICT files, a creative creator. But times have changed, Mac OS X arrived, QuickDraw was gone, PICT was deprived, PDF took its place, as the metafile king, But PICT's legacy, in many apps still sings. So remember dear children, the tale of PICT, A format of graphics, so clever and neat, From Macintosh's past, it brought joy and delight, And its memory lives on, shining bright.
