I once knew a girl,
Whose name just "Perl",
She really knew how to code.

Her code was real art,
She added her heart,
So, i wrote her this ode.

It was one fateful day,
When things went my way,
I asked her to be my wife.

To code at my side,
Until one of us died,
Hopefully, at the end of my life.

She said, "sure, of course",
Now my only remorse,
is that i didn't ask her before.

But now that it's done,
We'll code together like one,
And hack just oh so much more.

On the day of our wedding,
In a beautiful setting,
We gave each other a ring.

We've produced so much code,
And filled our abode,
With hacks that just start to sing.

But this wonderful theme,
Was all just a dream,
I hate when reality has way.

So i shed a small tear,
Cus Perl wasn't here,
This seems to happen each day.
