Hello Dr. Pick!
What I do is type my poem in Word, then copy and paste into the reply field here. All the control characters, i.e. CR, spaces, copy with it! I am sure there are other ways, this is just how I do mine! Hope that helps!
By the way, I had not read it until now... VERY funny! I enjoyed the cadence a lot! Good work!
BLKCat, still laughing!
