The best part about
this entire
procedure
is that it
alleviates the user
of the formerly
onerous burden
of spending a lifetime
to gether with
a nother person
in order to
find out what
a life spent
to gether with
that other person
would have been
like! Imagine the time
saved! Now you
can have lived
an entire lifetime
to gether with
someone between
breakfast and watering
your bonsai
garden without
so much
as taking
a step out
side the comfort
of your
home
