Today when i logged in,
My clicking yet to begin,
Today is a fun day,
It said, "Happy Monkday!!1!"
I was welcomed with a grin.

To say it with such elation,
That's the points of exclamation,
Enclosing a number 1,
A shift, meant for fun,
The key to successful formation.

"You've been here 4 stimulating years."
The numeric pun, leaves me in tears,
(It'd be better to double,
But that's too much trouble),
The Monastery, where monks are your peers.

It warns me, "Don't panic!"
(Do they think that i'm manic?)
The greeting was cursory
It's just an anniversary
And the greeting is pleasantly organic.

while (each %day) {
    join #perl
    wait && wait && wait;
    sleep 60 * 60 * int(rand(7));
}

How sad it is to see, the he that is not me, become the thing that he has long decried.
The annuated bore, crying for what went before; those lost days of his rose tinted youth.

So blind he cannot see, his own bigotry; his intolerance of those with whom he disagrees.
He thinks he is the man; he thinks he has a plan, to suppress the source of his jealousy.

Although he tries to hide, whilst he is being snide, to protect his once held reputation.
It doesn't take ESP, to see that it is he, despite his lukewarm refutation.

With his naughties: "Hate MS" meme; and linux everywhere dream; he doesn't realise, what he has become.
Despite his tender age, he's really turned the page; now both a dinosaur, and utterly dumb.

I love OOP, You love C,
C++'s family.
All the classes made it seem,
That i would love this language stream.

I love OOP, You love Perl,
Let's take Moose out for a whirl,
All the symbols make it seem,
It only takes a package stream.

I spent hours and hours on what not to see,
(To extend Ignored Users, specifically,)
So that it would work in last hour of cb
And then ambrus responded with simplicity.

I tried using javascript, with Greasemonkey installed,
For "editing scripts", it's normally called,
With testing and googling, i was enthralled,
Then a Perl Monks Discussion, to show what i scrawled.

But, .chatfrom_<some digits>, when i took a peek,
I mistakenly thought, was to keep it unique,
Corion explained, ambrus's critique,
It's the monk's node id, and not that oblique.

You work and you learn, even when it's for naught,
And look on with pride, when you see what you wrought,
Though the answer is different than i previously thought,
I'm happy i did it, i reached what i sought.
