I detest the computer-voice soundtrack that Poem Hunter adds to poems, but it's useless for me to continue my current practice of putting gibberish in the poem area if they are going to add soundtracks anyway.

Poem Hunter, you win. I have figured out why you do it. It's for money. By putting the soundtrack there, then you can superimpose a commercial over it. Shame on you for doing ... more »

    Kumarmani Mahakul bestowed the title of Heavenly Fortune on me. How he came up with that, I'll never know. If I did have a fortune, that would be heavenly!
