That was my thought too...
for programmer in search_of("elegance"):
if programmer.needs("an experience"):
print "whitespace counts much"
if Van_Rossum is Dutch:
print "Dictators are made by benevolence"

Here's one to get the ball rolling:
# voice only the alphanumeric tokens
from itertools import repeat
for feet in [3,3,2,2,3]:
print " ".join("DA-DA-DUM"
for dummy in [None]
for foot in repeat("metric", feet))
Brilliant!
How about a category for executable limericks?
Here's one to get the ball rolling:

for dummy in [None]

My first attempt (which does not scan properly):
A Dutch mathematician most prophetic,
Did invent a language, name herpetic.
With design quite intelligent,
And syntax mostly elegant,
Big ideas could be made non-hypothetic.
To improve the scan:
