You have some excellent ideas there, though they could be refined a bit with a further understanding of bushido.

I don't think the grandparent was suggesting that there can be no link between bushido and Perl. Merely that your published poem doesn't really demonstrate that link. As a comedic piece, it's mildly amusing, but it doesn't address any of the ideals of bushido -- in fact, those who follow that path might even take offense.

It's OK if you were trying to be offensive -- art that offends is sometimes the most useful -- but if you were trying to extoll bushido, you need to rework some of its concepts into your poem.
