To the reader of this poem, this poem is meant to be a perky tribute to the marvellous Kung-Fu movies I love and an affirmation of my belief that Perl is a powerful art, and it's practitioners are graceful, masterful and to be respected.

#!/usr/bin/perl
 
exit("The Dragon")?
 
study the-masters:
seek all,truth, passively and dilligently;
listen (wind,blows-soft), the-willow sighs and bends;
foreach (defined slice of,time){open mind,'let insight in'}
 
oh and another thing,
my $foo; it-is-stronger;
return next time;
with-experience and new respect;
 
 
# Notes to the reader.............
