Not very good, but I couldn't resist :)

There was a young fella from Bath
who queried his elements by path
he thought it quite swell
that this worked so well
especially with XQuery incurring much wrath

I prefer my documents well-formed
Following rules so they are never deformed
until one day
to my utter dismay
I found they had suddenly transformed

Cheers,

L.
