I was sitting at the table eating breakfast yesterday when I started noticing sentences and phrases on objects on the table. It sounded like poetry to me, so I wrote it down. Comments and interpretations are welcome. Or, write your own and I'll link to it.

It just hit me: my most favoritest band in the world, They Might Be Giants, would be perfect for this project. If only I knew how to convince John and John. Any ideas?
