You don’t want the program to do anything, you just want to give the parser something to read. Poetry both you and your parser can read. (See also HOWTO.)

Nutter. Chad Fowler thinks he can get his PC to do all the poetry for him.

Here’s one I wrote a while back… sadly, I can’t write pleasant poetry in words, let alone code.

redcloth leaves tags unopened. i suggest that html tags shouldn’t be allowed at all.

oh, come on. if you want to set a bold precedent in the comments, it is allowed.

and it’s easy enough to turn off. surely, this is collaboration.

This page no longer validates.

Although now that I check it didn’t validate before the poorly-nested /

Here’s one I wrote a while ago (tried to get it to actually do something too):

# steps through an array
# yielding only elements
# with non-nil values

class Array
  def filled
    each do |x|       # "each do x" 
      next unless x
      yield x  
    end  
  end
end

cilibrar, I think you missed the point that both his comment and code are haiku.
