Your words there were none truer ever said;
like healing rain Perl falls to mend the mind
of weary burdens, languages of dread,
and data structures rigid and unkind.
In ancient times, say, twenty years ago
we spoke among ourselves in learnèd speech.
Our powers grew, and just to say "I know"
made normal folk to whisper, each to each.
But Enter Perl, and all the world is new.
In simple truth, in part because we see
the program saying what it means to do,
in part because our thinking makes it "be."
And what about the guru of times past?
Now, they do more with less, and have a blast!
