Yes, I'm dabbling in poetry again. Same poem with a different twist. I just modified it a bit to sound less cruel and judging.

(Tech) Endeavor Over San Mateo

When I woke up this morning I never thought that the day was going to be special for a geek like me.

(Twist) Some Peace, Quiet & All The Salad I Can Eat

Salad so good it makes me forget about red meat.

I don't always enjoy eating salad. But when I do...

But of course, don't just take other people's word for it. It's still more fun if you'd try using it yourself. :)

(Art) The Rule Of Thirds
