Irresistible! Here goes then :

<there_was> a young fellow from Oz,
who code wasn't parsing, because

There's quite a history of limericks being somewhat less than politically

There was a young lady from Dell,
who thought sex and markup would sell

her extensible chest
was covered in XXXXML



Cheers,
