"Accessible Christmas (Click, Swipe, Hope)"
(Pop Country Style)
[Verse 1]
Well, I’m sittin’ here with my screen reader on,
JAWS is talkin’ but the links are all wrong.
“Click here,” it says—oh, that’s cute,
But it’s Christmas, y’all, I’m in hot pursuit.
I’m blind, not clueless, don’t treat me as such,
I know ARIA labels ain’t askin’ too much.
Alt text on photos? Yeah, that’d be swell,
Instead, I’m stuck in this HTML hell.
[Chorus]
I’m tappin’ and swipin’, searchin’ for cheer,
A gift for my kid and some holiday beer.
With broken buttons and a CAPTCHA to fight,
I’m singin’ the blues on this website tonight.
Accessibility’s a gift, can we wrap it up tight?
[Verse 2]
Now, I’d love to order that sweet red sled,
But the checkout form’s got my poor head dead.
“Error, please retry”—oh, what did I miss?
It’s like playin’ Sudoku with a blindfold twist.
Hey, devs, ever heard of WCAG?
It’s not just letters, it’s a lifeline for me.
Keyboard nav and semantic cues,
Could turn these Christmas struggles into holiday news.
[Chorus]
I’m tappin’ and swipin’, searchin’ for cheer,
A gift for my kid and some holiday beer.
With broken buttons and a CAPTCHA to fight,
I’m singin’ the blues on this website tonight.
Accessibility’s a gift, can we wrap it up tight?
[Bridge]
Now here’s a toast to the devs who try,
Who test with a screen reader, not just their eyes.
Let’s build the web for us all to share,
So I can shop in peace, not pull out my hair!
[Chorus]
I’m tappin’ and swipin’, searchin’ for cheer,
A gift for my kid and some holiday beer.
With broken buttons and a CAPTCHA to fight,
I’m singin’ the blues on this website tonight.
Accessibility’s a gift, can we wrap it up tight?
[Outro]
So this Christmas season, give more than a toy,
Give access and fairness, spread some tech joy.
From alt text to labels, let’s make it alright,
And bring Christmas to everyone, both day and night.
