This poet really likes to use hyphens. I still don't understand using hyphens. To me it draws out the space and makes it sound weird. What is you take on it?

Yeah...

Okay, I'm going to preface this by letting you know I'm a star wars fan, so this is hilarious to me.

It doesn't follow the movie's storyline at all, but its a really funny look at the galaxy from Jar Jar's eyes. Seems to be a great example of dialect and being able to write from a characters point of view. Anyway, Jar-jar haters and lovers alike should enjoy this. :D
