                          WAKA WAKA ! 

The following poem appeared recently in INFOCUS magazine. 
The original authors were Fred Bremmer and Steve Kroese of Calvin 
College  Seminary of Grand Rapids, MI.
A poll conducted among INFOCUS readers had established "waka" as 
the proper pronunciation for the angle-bracket characters "<" and
">" though some readers held out resolutely for "norkies." The text 
of the poem follows:

    < > ! * ' ' # 
    ^ " ` $ $ - 
    ! * = @ $ _ 
    % * < > ~ # 4
    & [ ] . . / 
    | { , , SYSTEM HALTED

The poem can only be appreciated by reading it aloud, to wit:

    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.
