in reply to Jaime

I dunno-- this doesn't even parse. Is it enough for a poem to contain the word "Perl" for it to be a Perl Poem? Or am I overthinking this?

      I couldn't give your post enough positive votes, so I'll give you a resounding "Here, here!" instead.

      Baldrick, you wouldn't see a subtle plan if it painted itself purple and danced naked on top of a harpsichord, singing "Subtle plans are here again!"

    Don't be so critical. Perl deserves to have poems written about it as well as in it. After all, it is traditional to address the muse directly through an ' apostrophe. ;)

      Great point re: apostrophe and the perl-muse. But, let's be real, if I weren't so critical, I'd just be a geek at a terminal with a smelly dog under my chair. At least, as it stands, I'm a geek at a terminal with a stinky beagle and the premier critic of a bold new poetic school. Let a man dream, for heaven's sake.

    I was trying to express my wish for Jaime to be as easy to understand as Perl is becoming for me.

    It was both a compliment to the beauty and wonderfullness of Jaime and to the simplicity and ease of use of Perl.

    I can only say what my heart feels.
