Utterly predictable; it's like the combination of all my prejudices.
Even before I knew, I thought "Bet Python separates statements from
expressions".
Python is for terse, pithy prose; Python is not for poetry.

I though that too, until Michael Spencer sent me the following
executable Python limerick, which I declared the PyCon limerick
competition and read as a part of my closing address:
# Freely re-distributable under Poetic License*
# Voice only the alphanumeric tokens
from itertools import repeat
for feet in [3,3,2,2,3]:
print " ".join("DA-DA-DUM"
for dummy in [None]
for foot in repeat("metric", feet))
