It's great - I forget about the Perl examples - I wonder if that culture's
even going on at the moment.

But I don't think the code actually rhymed.
This was actually put to me as a challenge by a friend. He didn't
specify that actually had to do anything worth while and it doesn't.
But it's syntactically correct, runs without error but doesn't produce
any output. When making it, I wasn't producing it specifically to be
part of the Microcode selection but it's an interesting experiment so
I added it to the site.

oh... ps. I made a slight mistake in the "read" example. It should of
course be "If two equals two OR love matches u", not "AND love matches
u". This makes a big difference since it means that the code within is
executed but what is after the "else" statement is not. Otherwise it
would produce output.
