COMPUTER POETRY

[Maestro]

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.
