[FWP] A Perl Poem

[yanick1@sympatico.ca]

St.Valentin's day... Beside Chrismas, the best time of the
year to be all cute and cheesy.  So I guess it's the perfect 
time to unleash this "white perl" (as in, the inverse of the 
infamous black perl poem) of mine.  It's not complex or 
incredibly witty, but I find it amusing. :)

Joy,
Yanick
