Note: at the time I wrote this, I had not read the other posts, and did not realize others were already taking on Hamlet's famous soliloquy.

// c#

bool? TheQuestion = true;
bool? ToBe = true;

public bool? ToBeOrNotToBe()
{
return (TheQuestion == true && ToBe == true) ? ToBe : null;
}

"Our life is a faint tracing on the surface of mystery, like the idle, curved tunnels of leaf miners on the surface of a leaf. We must somehow take a wider view, look at the whole landscape, really see it, and describe what's going on here. Then we can at least wail the right question into the swaddling band of darkness, or, if it comes to that, choir the proper praise." Annie Dillard

Not really a poem, but here's some famous Shakespeare in C/C++

bool question = (toBe || !toBe);

[da808wiz]

...
send(girl,"Flowers");
send(girl,"Chocolates");
send(girl,"Money");
send(girl,"Heart");
if ( recv(girl)==cold_shoulder )
goto hell;

You still get the credit, but I like:

if (ToBe || !ToBe) return ThatIStheQuestion

[randomusic]

Good one, a 5-7-5 haiku

[Luiz Monad]

From that we can conclude that life is random, and dont affect the result of question. that is: from where we come from? where are we? and where are we going to?

[fatman45]

How about:

Question = life ? ToBe : !ToBe;

0x2B || !0x2B Saw it in the book somewhere. No, it wasn't Shakespeare, it was an embedded firmware book.
