And I thank you for it. I was never entirely happy with four of the poem's last seven stanzas, but, well, I've noticed an unfortunate tendancy with regard to the stuff I write just for fun on the site here.

But I don't like myself when I'm not "giving my all" to a project, and I need to stop doing that.
