Well, we all know that poetry is a pythonic way of explaining things...

After a loop, a "for" or a "while",
runs the "else" along with a smile.
To skip the "else" without breaking a leg,
use a "break", don't boil an egg.

(ps, I'd prefer the for/break/else be completely removed or renamed to
something readable if-not-break or whatever. I just had a strange muse
for this...)
