#-- While this is not in perl syntax, I see that

foreach man who seeks fortune 
while more idle man sleeps 
you make code + port nice GNU apps. 
time passes, head man, finds fortune 
more to life, seeks break- pause 

rewind... 
find Perl, swap numbers, date, continue. 
query(touch)==true, I/O, more-more..NICE 
next: attach-ed, "Magic Garden" $PATH 
read(vows), link, write signal: chr(7)BELs 

while(true) do foreach day: listen,love,continue 
foreach night touch,more,swap tail,fork(link),sleep 
if(signal), wait, spawn child process, sleep=false 
echo 'goo-goo-GNU", input paste, pipe, stdio->tar 
wait, potty-train, gets cookie, sed "Dada" more 
break device, swap/swap, echo "WAAaa!!" 
continue... Man+Perl who find child nice 


--[ and another mini story in unix terms ]--


Pause...cat continues to wait & listen 
while mouse seeks to access more kernels 
and gnaws at break in structure, while 
it does #include each byte of food touched 
in cache of wall. 

cat sets focus at nibble action of mouse- 
paws..step..pause..step cat gets set for kill. 
JuMP* try: slash/slash/ like fork(s) touches tail 
RUN, mouse, RUN. Else gets() cut to core 

alarm, alarm !!! AWK, AWK sed round-robin. 
while cat switch focus, mouse access port & exit 
next: cat slash@robin head; slash@tail 
if cat finds head, robin gets pasted+input 
nice AWK, finds top branch, less cat - while 
idle mouse gets cookie, then sleeps in lint
