bluejeans07Sam posted this poem on his LJ and I liked it so much that I had to post it on my own LJ to giggle over. XD
"Poem for Poetry Month!
The following poem first appeared in INFOCUS magazine. The original authors were Fred Bremmer and Steve Kroese of Calvin College & Seminary of Grand Rapids, MI. A poll conducted among INFOCUS readers had established "waka" as the proper pronunciation for the angle-bracket characters < and >, though some readers held out resolutely for "norkie".

The poem can only be appreciated by reading it aloud, to wit:
Waka waka bang splat tick tick hash,
Caret quote back-tick dollar dollar dash,
Bang splat equal at dollar under-score,
Percent splat waka waka tilde number four,
Ampersand bracket bracket dot dot slash,
Vertical-bar curly-bracket comma comma CRASH."
Mother is home!! After some rest, my babysitting duties shall be relieved! Until then, I'll be folding laundry and trying to cinvince her to let me paint the freaking walls in a color that is not white.
