Apparently this reminder is needed.

It is a meme.

    Google for a poem called “The Chaos”. It starts with “Dearest creature in creation”. Read it out loud without errors.

      Here it is. I was going to paste the whole text in here until I realized what a monster of a poem it is.

        As a native speaker, dang, that’s not easy!

        A few words I’m not sure on.

          As a non-native speaker, it took me a quite few trials to get things right. And it contained a shitload of surprizes.

          There is a reason this poem is called “The Chaos”.

        And, have you read it aloud? ;-)

        But it is good that you provided the link instead of the text, as the link contains a load of additional information about the poem and its author.

        When tweetle beetles fight, it’s called a tweetle beetle battle.

        And when they battle in a puddle, it’s a tweetle beetle puddle battle.

        AND, when tweetle beetles battle with paddles in a puddle, they call it a tweetle beetle puddle paddle battle.

        AND, when beetles battle beetles in a puddle paddle battle and the beetle battle puddle is a puddle in a bottle they call it a tweetle beetle bottle puddle paddle battle muddle.
