Five Hundred Characters
Five hundred characters go by so fast.
I only have four hundred sixty-two left,
which turned into four hundred twenty-two a line ago.
I must spend them wisely... I just wasted 28
on saying that I must spend them wisely.
I wasted 40 on repeating myself,
and another 40 on saying that I wasted 40.
Now I'm almost out of characters, which means
that I blew 33 on saying that I'm almost out of characters.
I trashed 70 on explaining what "almost out of characters"
means, and I think I still have room to cram five
