Please do share fellow ABCTalers.

That's quite whacky

I installed the latest Edge, but the tablet I used is old and the Android version may not be so up to date.

A fine poem, living up to the title. One might even call it numinous, perhaps. Poetry is the best way to address the ineffable, so that's why this is our pick of the day today. Please share if you like it too.
