Happy New Year!

Starting 2026 with a Minecraft poem that came to me in the middle of the night:

Minecraft (Xbox Series X) - A Bridge Too Low (Poem)

It is a cute, friendly ask for a friend to build higher bridges across water!

The limerick reads:

There once was a bridge too low...
Also with a boat that would go...
A bridge in the way...
A boat in dismay...
And the boat would go no mo'.

That is all.
