5 Perlimericks
A team of aspiring Perlistas Would type till their fingers got blisters. But without their espresso, The code was a mess, so They had to take turns as baristas.

An old coder’s wit (not a flash of it!) Rejected my Perl (the whole stash of it). He’d been coding all day An associative array, So I said, “Well, you’ve sure made a hash of it!”		Said the boss, “Java’s pure and sublime; To use anything else is a crime.” But a rebel named Earl Said “I much prefer Perl” — And his project was finished on time.
