This may or may not catch on.

Basically, write a random Haiku, it's easy.

For those who don't know, a haiku is composed of three lines, line one has 5 syllables, line two has seven syllables, and line three has 5 syllables.

eg:

I walk in the dark
the black night gives me comfort
darkness, walk with me

of course, you can vary the theme to describe another board poster, or to describe how your day has been, or anything like that.

GO!

Once again I wait
But she isn't there any more
I feel so empty

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
10/10
Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
