Write a Fib, Win a Pair of Web Cams

I
do
declare,
this old web
will snare the strangest
little marriages of mind and
math-a-matics, of machine and human languages.

Whatis.com is running a little poetry contest of sorts. Write the winning fib (with a tech reference), which seems to be a six line poem using the first six fibonacci numbers to determine the number of syllables per line. According to the NY Times, the form was created by Gregory Pincus as a writing exercise.
