I’m Daniel Steinbrook, a Harvard College undergraduate in Cabot House. When I’m not teaching computer science or making the old folks kvell, I like to tease computers, by forcing them to write vapid poetry and compose silly music.
better known as Daniel W. Steinbrook
Thy prove so midnight sketch without decease? My cure near lord thy creature thee in dream? Again so flower eye her cloud without? Delight be tender stand await near spring, Thy art so kill his face my fight so lord, Thy cure my king untrue before he king? Against I king I ground near thee in fight, Fair sketch so water fight before behold! Attain near cloud is noble rest content, Chaste lord be waste supress for waste is spring? Untrue attain unto to maiden ground! Fair midnight creature midnight love so king? He dear my rest forsooth on love near own! In winter flower dream be jesting soul.
