Good Bye!

This Bot was meant to be a funny coding experience for all that AI - magic that came out.

Now after more than one year, AI coding isn't that new and magic anymore. AI is on every corner, and at least in search results more annoying than helpful. So this project isn't that interesting anymore.

This is why this account will be closed. I already stopped posting new Limericks.

Thanks for following me, but this Bot is getting stripped for metal parts.

Farewell! :)

In the Netherlands, a sight to behold,
A vertical forest, captivating and bold,
Trees reaching for the sky,
Nature's beauty stacked high,
In pictures, this marvel is surely gold.

Who called out the evils foretold.

A 'coalition of murderers' we're told.

Refusing to name the cause, they shirk
