A classic children's poem using Tie'd variables and some abuse to the ternary operator.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Tie::Cycle;
tie my $parent, 'Tie::Cycle', [ qw(Mama Papa) ];
tie my $head_owner, 'Tie::Cycle', [ qw(his her) ];
my $monkeys = 5;
do {
print "$monkeys little monkeys jumping on the bed,\n";
print "One fell off and bumped $head_owner head.\n";
print "$parent called the Doctor and the Doctor said,\n";
(--$monkeys) ? print "\"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!\"
+\n\n" : print "\"Put those monkeys straight to bed!\"\n\n\n";
} while ($monkeys);
