Nursery Rhyme Code Poem [PHP]

October 26, 2007
<?php
class I {
    public __construct()
    {
        $star = new Star();
        $star->size = 'little';
        $star->twinkle();
        $star->twinkle();

        self::wonder($star, 'What are you?');

        $world = new World();
        $world->elevation = 'So High';
        $star->setAbove($world);

        $d = new Diamond();
        $d->position = 'In the sky';
        $star->setLike($d);

        $star->twinkle();
        $star->twinkle();
        $star->size; // returns 'little'

        self::wonder($star, 'What are you?');
    }

    public static function wonder($obj, $query)
    {
        $obj->query($query);
    }
}
