Here are several posts of meaningless content, so the thread is of sufficiently realistic length, and to amuse myself while I'm waiting for our water to be turned back on so I can soak my Japanese water stones and sharpen some knives.  True story.

Here is a poem I wrote for my sister's birthday a few years ago.  She likes fish, and I spontaneously quote this anytime I'm at an aquarium, which is unfortunately rare.  Since this thread exists in a dead-end universe of impending deletion, I won't violate a potential future copyright issues by posting it, in case I ever wanted to publish it.  Which is not likely.     

The Fishes in the 'Quarium
(A Weird Grammatically Incorrect Little Poem)

The fishes in the 'quarium
They swims about all day
To them it is the ocean deep
Their world it is to they

They eats their little flakies
That falls from the lighted sky
The bottom feeders eat those bombs
That sinks occasionally

Though times the fishes perish
Or the algaes rule the tank
Mostly all the times it's great
Whether swim or float or sank

Those fishes lives so happy
Swamming o'er the gravelly bed 
Who needs the ocean when you've got
A 'quarium instead
