Well, since you brought it up:
---------------------------------------------------
The following poem is excerpted with permission from Lee Leitner's
"Viewpoint" column which is featured in a bimonthly periodical for
Prime INFORMATION users called INFOCUS magazine. The original authors
were Fred Bremmer and Steve Kroese of Calvin College & Seminary of
Grand Rapids, MI.
FYI - a "wahka" is the decidedly "proper" (by popular vote) name for
the characters ">" and "<". This is in spite of INFOCUS readers of
Denver who still refer to them as "Norkies". The Michigan crowd
apparently has corrupted the spelling to "waka".
To wit, it is -
"... a poem we think is about the lowly wahka. Maybe. Well,
perhaps ... We're really not sure what the poem actually is
about. Here it goes:

Waka waka bang splat, tick tick hash,

Bang splat tick, dollar under-score,
Percent splat waka, waka number four,

Vertical-bar, curly-bracket, tilde tilde CRASH."
