(I hope it's a strong dowel, because otherwise that simile tortured for a rhyme would be worthless.)
I think it works rather well Grumblesaur.

From the Wednesday, October 23, 2013 devlog:
Making LT has showed,
no matter how well writing flowed,
you soon realise that
the program is too fat.
Again shave off a few pounds of code!
@ Grumlesaur: It sure worked for me!

Phew, i was blown away by that editor in the last video.
As slick as a politician on steroids:
"Well,its all about trouble and strife".
said the man as he pondered his life.
"I gave Josh a ping.
Asked him for just one thing:
Can you please let me edit my wife?"

Josh beat me to it Rembrandt.
He continues to do us proud don't you think?

Simulation bears a considerable load,
It's data is oft buried deep within code.
Stored as a one, stored as a nought,
Abstract the sum, express a new thought.
It can best be viewed as a node.

Nice one, Scousematt!
About the sunday, 17th november devlog:
Its hard to get an A.I. to mine
and while docking and buying are fine
the problem at the root
is,"time" doesn't compute
which is never a very good sign!

The data are all organized
in circles and lines synthesized,
just click on the dots
'til you've hit the spot -
the greatest mod API ever devised.

Life enjoys kicking us all
Especially when we take a fall
So we got in a scrap
But the short is I'm back
Next up: A dev log text wall!
Seriously, gone for just over a month and OMG THE DEV LOG!!!!
Edit: Ok so it was 2 months... sue me

Just joined the LT IRC
sadly it was most empty
and that's a bad rhyme
but I don't have the time
to do this properly.

An Ode to Star Citizen:
Lifetime Insurance has expired,
and I'm happy 'cause I was tired
of overriding my strong desire
to buy every damn ship I admire,
when ships can be in-game acquired!

Thank you for the entertaining verse gentlemen. I do so enjoy a good chuckle.
I can certainly relate to your sentiments Just_Ice.

Wow, some nice ones!
Job well done guys.
Busy time of the year for me, reindeer needed a winter check up, negotiations with the Elves workers union (they wanted a collective promotion and are now called Twelves), some hacker got into our system and diverted all presents to a village in Nigeria, and we ran out of toilet paper and had to use the wrapping for the pres.... ah but you're not interested in all that.
Anyway, I had little time to check the forum but i was pleasantly surprised this thread survived.
Right then...on to business.
About the dec 9th devlog:
Graphics are all about light.
So I am coding them all through the night.
And I write in my blog,
that I'm tired as a dog,
but the mood is still happy and bright.

I know Limericks can't start with an orange
For apart from a fern called a sporange
There are just no more correct rhymes
Which means sadly I find
The last line sucks.
