Sorry for going so far off topic.  Zing!

If Haiku (a concise, compact, simplified poetry) can be written in Perl, 
then is Ginsberg (a often verbose, complicated, free flowing style) to 
be written in PHP?  That's the typical view of _other_ languages' coders 
of PHP coders, isn't it? I mean if Perl can claim so easily capable of 
Haiku, can't PHP enjoy a little messiness? Could Python or Ruby be used 
to write Beat Poetry as sufficiently as PHP? Free Speech Man!
Ok, now I sound nutz. Here's a background story :

When I was learning to code, some one (rightly) accused my code of being 
messy and they said good code should be like poetry. So I said, "Then 
just think of me as Ginsberg!"
