I'm sure the intent of Magnetic Poetry was pure at one point (for those of you who haven't heard of it, it's boxes of little magnetic words). I'm fairly certain the designer wanted it to be a clever way to inspire you and your visitors to adorn your refrigerator with moving prose, beautiful odes and the like. Perhaps it could help you with that book of haiku you've been toying with. But when people like myself, the bad man I live with and the odd folks we invite into our home get ahold of them...well, it's another story.
I had bought a few boxes of it before the deal closed on the house and put them on the ancient fridge the day we got the keys. The first contributors were family members and friends who were helping move things in and clean the various messes that the previous owner had left. As the months and years passed, parties were hosted and alcoholic beverages were consumed. The results of mixing alcohol and Magnetic Poetry can be funny, scary, or just plain confusing. The morning after, it was always interesting to read what gems the previous night's visitors had left.
Nowadays, I may arrange words here and there whilst waiting for the kettle. There are times where I'll see a phrase I hadn't noticed before. But for the most part, it stays untouched. Most of the words have been used and the sentences are permanent fixtures, no one is willing to steal from them to make new ones. The only thing I'll dread about the day we move is having to dismantle this work of art. But I suppose the upside is that we can start fresh with a new house and fridge. It just means we'll have to throw more parties, damn it all.
And now, for your viewing pleasure, I present my ancient fridge and it's Magnetic Poetry. Please enjoy responsibly.

I looooove the fridge magnets and I love to read them. Especially after a big party. Hours of entertainment right there.
When I moved out of my last place we found more little fridge magnets under the fridge than were left on the fridge. Those little fuckers are hard to pick up off the ground.

Your work is very tight on the budget if you're still using ancient monitors that can't display 800 pixels. Seriously, how do you see anything? Mental.
I have these fridgy poem things too, btw, only I've got the 'Adult' edition, if you catch my drift.
---------------
It could explain why I can't see clearly past six feet anymore. I could never find the adult edition of those things, but we found a way to make these ones say naughty things.

The adult version is kind of sophmoric and lame; in fact so lame that you eventually get bored and try to make non-naughty sounding things with it.

HBTS - my work monitors are smaller than my home ones, apparently they're set to the wrong resolution as well. *shrug*

Icky - I had to re-do and re-post it. The one you sent me was too small, it was hard to read. But no worries, you still get cookies. The good news is that I figured out how to do this myself so I won't have to bug you anymore.

Liked it. Set your screen size to 1200+ pixels - you'll be fine.

Huge whitespace with a little sidescrolling, but a little easier to read. My apologies to those who rated the last one. I'm going to go sit in the corner for awhile.
