When two hundred characters
Gave you just one point!
Get off my lawn!

Mobile games, such fun!
But care I must take, because
They are addictive!

Highlighting all the

wanted. So I won't.

Why does haikuu have
Two 'u's? Is this some secret?

become "haikuu"? Have I been
oblivious? Hm.

To @Lucifer, I

See "sphinges". Odd word.

Poem here where each word is just
One bit of speech long

Time is not just a
Strict progression of cause and
Effect. It wibbles.

(And wobbles. Timey-wimey.)
