There once was a curious person,
Who wanted learn of recursion.
They searched Wikipedia,

Control+C does not work for me

shebang shebang
my eyes hurt from typing
shebang shebang
my mind hurts from thinking
shebang shebang
my butt hurts from sitting
shebang shebang
my heart hurts shes leaving
shebang shebang
I'm coding instead of sleeping
shebang shebang

Also for those who may not know what's a shebang (!#)

const and var, review a PR,
And deploy the front-end at the very end.

Time to go home and disappear,

Brain brain gone away, these bugs will forever stay.

It’s broke it, it’s fixed, who knows what I did.

Why is this broken?
Maybe I'll run it again?
Well, why did that work?

Roses are red, Violet is blue. I learned F# and you can too.
