Apparently this reminder is needed.

It is a meme.

Here it is. I was going to paste the whole text in here until I realized what a monster of a poem it is.

As a native speaker, dang, that's not easy!

A few words I'm not sure on.

As a non-native speaker, it took me a quite few trials to get things right. And it contained a shitload of surprizes.

There is a reason this poem is called "The Chaos".

And, have you read it aloud? ;-)

But it is good that you provided the link instead of the text, as the link contains a load of additional information about the poem and its author.
