Do I Smell A Challenge?

It is a challenge. See the Dec. 1 post over at Cahiers de Corey. He says, speaking about colons (the punctuation mark. you are a naughty naughty person to think those things), and I quote:

A challenge it is. I shall exorcise the colon-demon and his bastard brother the semicolon-demon through the frequent and overly exuberant utilization of said devilishly evil punctuations within the body of at least one poem.
