here is a poem
i wrote it just for you
i know who you are
and you know who i am too

we are the rulers
of this happy universe
and we will rule together
but don't forget - i got here first

all the skies and mountains
rivers, shores, and waves
and all the creatures in them
are our playthings and our slaves

we will live forever
and have such jolly fun
but please - always remember
that i am number one

from wikipedia: "Feuilleton (French pronunciation: [fœjtɔ̃]; a diminutive of French: feuillet, the leaf of a book) was originally a kind of supplement attached to the political portion of French newspapers, consisting chiefly of non-political news and gossip, literature and art criticism, a chronicle of the latest fashions, and epigrams, charades and other literary trifles. The feuilleton may be described as a "talk of the town",^[1] and a contemporary English-language example of the form is the "Talk of the Town" section of The New Yorker.^[2]

In English newspapers, the term "feuilleton" instead came to refer to an installment of a serial story printed in one part of a newspaper. The genre of the feuilleton in its French sense was eventually included in English newspapers, but was not referred to as a feuilleton.

In contemporary French, feuilleton takes on the definition of "soap opera," specifically ones aired for television."
