There are three simple faces hand drawn on graph paper. The top one is a smiley face, the second is a straight face, and the third is a frowny face. Beside each face is a check box that a teacher might use in evaluating their students for the day. In this picture, the box beside the frowny face is checked.

Writing bad sentences for me is easy,
I can throw them out there, and
Who, whom, whoever, whomever can read them,
I can use a lot of punctuation!?!, and
I’m a big fan of parenthesis (being able to further
Break down my thoughts into smaller segments)
(Instead of using commas, or semicolons; or colons:)
And I also like using “quotes” to single out “words,” or
“Phrases,” or “clauses,” I sometimes like run-together
Sentences that can go on, and on, and on, and on,
Seemingly forever without really saying anything very
Interesting or profitable for the one who reads them?

NOTE: This was an accepted challenge from Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她).
