if (!die "automobile") { open($LIE, "field"); } $snakes = chop "skin"; my $friends = "worms"; $birds = delete ($eyes[0 .. 1]); shift $clouds;

or translated....

Don't let me die in an automobile I wanna lie in an open field Want the snakes to suck my skin Want the worms to be my friends Want the birds to eat my eyes As here I lie The clouds fly by
