A place to post your own original poem, limerick or haiku. Or you can post someone else's that you like as long as you put it in quotes. You don't have to explain it, I am just explaining the one below to give some context.
This poem was written in the Chatbox regarding the difference between English-speaking and non-English-speaking countries and how they use commas and periods when writing numbers. For example the English number 123,456,789.55 would be written in the Netherlands as 123456789,55 if I understand it correctly.
BoredJedi asked when they had started writing numbers that way, to which I replied
When cavemen ruled the earth
Lo these many years ago
The Euros put a comma
Where a period should go
