My little creation (note that the whole thing is made of perl builtins, even the punctuation. And no repeats.):

no time for alarm?
dump last package; join our flock
do accept sleep, stat!

poetic translation:

have big problem, need a solution now?
forget the other language, join the perl community
finally get to sleep, knowing you are safe

(btw, the "forget the other language" part doesn't mean other languages suck and/or aren't useful. I spent forever trying to come up with english-language sentenecs using only builtins and 'dump last package' was one of the things I came up with :))
