Character sonnet

Thinking up procedures that work with the neverending stream of text generated by a twitter profile, I realised that the (apparently arbitrary) designation of 140 characters per twitter post can be arranged into a kind of character sonnet, where instead of 10 syllables per line, the 14-line stanza contains 10 characters per line:

and and an
d and and
and and an
d and and
and and an
d and and
and and an
d and and
and and an
d and and
and and an
d and and
and and an
d and and
and and an


(courier is the best standard font to display a character sonnet, as each character is given an equal width)
