    Cute.

    If reading aloud, make sure you pronounce "." as "dot" or "stop", "=" as "equals", and don't pronounce commas or semicolons at all.

    "\n" can be "slash N", "new line", or "line break".

    Ha! Comment Haiku:

    Made me laugh out loud. Poems like this make me proud, to be in the crowd.
    Yours is far better! Thanks...
