I have pasted in two computer poems. The first is written in symbols. The pronunciation of the poem is below.
The text of the first poem:
< > ! * ' ' #
^ " ` $ $ -
! * = @ $ _
% * < > ~ # 4
& [ ] . . /
| { , , SYSTEM HALTED
The poem is pronounced as follows:
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.
Chart showing the true and accurate pronunciation of the poem's first five symbols:
Symbol with pronunciation
<> = waka waka
! = bang
* = splat

# = hash
