Hello, this is Herumtreiber, I have no idea where to post an introduction, so I thought I'd do it with a poem. I know that it's better if I reply to some other's first, but rest assued I will, this is only an introduction.

Now I know there are people out there,
Who think that I can’t rhyme,
That statement is just false,
I do it all the time!

They come tumbling from my brain,
Straight down to the board,
Yet more and more to come,
My brain holds a great horde!

But sometimes I get stuck,
And the wor’s don’t really come spewin’,
And those that do come out,
They come out straight to ruin.

When I hit these obstacles,
There’s nothing else but this,
You boil down and think,
Of all words that exist.

And look, Even the great poet me,
Has just now hit a block,
The door to my thoughts lay barred,
Right behind the lock.

The bars that stand are firm,
Impervious to my whim,
Yet behind them I can feel,
Words pile over the brim.

But now through deep dark thought,
And many headaches too,
I break past that obstacle,
And relate those words to you.

I can rhyme all day and night,
Talk from dawn to dark,
Type like a mad programmer,
On great journeys I embark.

But why you ask, why go though all this fuss?
Well you’re the reader, why don’t we discuss?

What do these words show?
What do these words do?
What do these small blots of ink really mean to you?

And now I will stop writing, though you may think me mad
Just the thought that you have read this, makes me, you guessed it, Glad!
