Here's one to get the ball rolling:
# voice only the alphanumeric tokens
from itertools import repeat
for feet in [3,3,2,2,3]:

My first attempt (which does not scan properly):
A Dutch mathematician most prophetic,
Did invent a language, name herpetic.
With design quite intelligent,
And syntax mostly elegant,
Big ideas could be made non-hypothetic.
To improve the scan:
