from XKCD - With Apologies to Robert Frost

A God's Lament
Some said the world should be in Perl;
Some said in Lisp.
Now, having given both a whirl,
I held with those who favored Perl.
But I fear we passed to men
A disappointing founding myth.
And should write it all again,
I'd end it with
A closed-paren.
