Geek Poetry [snagged from somewhere a long time ago…]

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 under-score,
   Percent splat waka waka tilde number four,
   Ampersand bracket bracket dot dot slash,
   Vertical-bar curly-bracket comma comma
   CRASH.
