Homage to the Interactive Interpreter (with apologies to all the monks 
out there):

     My dear Guido dared once to combine
     Out of objects, command of a line
         There was nary a brace.
         In their place? Some whitespace!
     And cast many their Perl before swine.


(I agree that the idiom played upon in the last line is obverted, but 
but plead poetic license :-)

Best to all,
