i hate javascript too, but i hate wasting bandwidth and my own time even more.
each letter in this poem is in its own span - that's fourteen extra bytes per letter you're downloading, including the newline. I don't want you to have to download that, nor do I want to write all those spans!
you can find the poem at ./text.js if you want, but you'll miss out on the experience.
you can find a spanned up version at ./nojs.html if you want the experience.
