It was inevitable.

First horror, don't read it if you've got very little patience for pretty line breaks:

Umm...line breakster?  What is that?

Different that for certain

[RedAxie]

I can't read that :S

[Halfling Daniel]

Whoops, that was a mistake. I tried to divide the "poem" in two parts, so that it'd be easier to read. I messed that up, decided to make it very long again, and I think I accidentally deleted a part. I'll fix that post-haste.

Edit: It's been fixed. My boring satire can now be read as it was intended to.

[Chevalier-Ange]

Indeed...thats better.  Still different though 

[RedAxie]

I still can't read that.
My eyes can't focus on the letters X_X

[Halfling Daniel]

Fine, I'll "translate" what I wrote. >_>
"Hey, look, this is totally a poem. It's got lots of line breaks. Obviously, that means I'm a totally awesome writer that will get a lot of money."

[RedAxie]

Sorry, it's not my fault I've needed glasses since I was 11 years old.

[Halfling Daniel]

Meh, it's OK. After all, the "poem" I posted here isn't even supposed to be good or taken seriously. I also thought some people might have problem reading it, so it's no big deal.

The sad part is, it's a lot better than most modern poetry.

Amen.

It was funny though. I showed it to a coworker and it took them 10 minutes to figure it out. No wonder our graphic design department has such high turnover...

[ScienceFair]

I showed it to a coworker and it took them 10 minutes to figure it out.

That... is incredible.

[OnewingedDragon]

That... is incredible.

I believe the word you are looking for is... Sad. Sad and pathetic.
