See, this is another one of those posts that I rilly rilly like but I don't
have anything with which to followup, so I'm reduced to saying that I rilly
rilly like it. Rilly.
Oh! Wait! I *do* have something to say. Dyna, next one, just post the
keystrokes and make everybody guess the rhyme. Yeah.

I'll post a classic, and toss in some space before the translation as a
spoiler buffer. I'll stick a dictionary at the end.

Here are two "top-row" poems as they appeared in rec.humor.funny a
year or two ago, with Subject: Stuck Shift Key Poetry.
The following poem is excerpted with permission from Lee Leitner's
"Viewpoint" column which is featured in a bimonthly periodical for
Prime INFORMATION users called INFOCUS magazine. The original author's
were Fred Bremmer and Steve Kroese of Calvin College & Seminary of
Grand Rapids, MI.
FYI - a "wahka" is the decidedly "proper" (by popular vote) name for
the characters ">" and "<". This is in spite of INFOCUS readers of
Denver who still refer to them as "Norkies". The Michigan crowd
apparently has corrupted the spelling to "waka".
