IF-THEN-ELSE...

 

if you love me and tell me
then I will buy you ice-cream
else
     if you love and won't tell me
     then I won't buy you ice-cream
          though I would like to do so secretly
          if you begin
                 to hint to me
                 say nothing
                 end 
          then if I get the hint
                  that it seems that you love me
               then perhaps, I'll think about it
               else I'll think about other things
          else if I don't get the hint                                                                                           
               then I'll readin other hints
                    but, I won't tell
               else if I get the wrong hint
                    then you begin
                             to worry
                             don't eat
                             don't work
                             and keep writing about me
                             in your memories
                             end
                           I begin
                             to think
                             it's just too bad for you
                             and for me it's only a matter of ice-cream
                             end
               end
               else I will wait
          end
          else I'll read the next hint
               process the signal
               and again
               process and excute this procedure
               ......
end

you always try to begin
so that you can end
if-then-else...
is a process
that never
ends
