							Magnetic Poetry® seen on our 
						fridge:

						pull up my little wedgey roughly * Dan is a gridiron champion * here be Gocek 
						country * flood the symphony of mud mountain * burn not the ugly blister * dad 
						is a tremendously fat huge pig eating dinosaur * stride through chocolate 
						gardens, they shadow death as do my tremendous muscles
