Happened across this in my archives. I'd never heard of a waka before.
***
The following poem appeared in INFOCUS magazine. The original authors
were Fred Bremmer and Steve Kroese of Calvin College & Seminary of Grand
Rapids, MI.
A poll conducted among INFOCUS readers had established "waka" as the
proper pronunciation for the angle-bracket characters < and >, though
some readers held out resolutely for "norkies."
The text of the poem follows:

The poem can only be appreciated by reading it aloud, to wit:
Waka waka bang splat tick tick hash,
Caret quote back-tick dollar dollar dash,
Bang splat equal at dollar underscore,
Percent splat waka waka tilde number four,
Ampersand bracket bracket dot dot slash,
Vertical-bar curly bracket comma comma CRASH.
