I needed some “filler text” recently and for whatever reason couldn’t access the Lorem Ipsum generator. Word used to have a feature where you’d type =Random(x,y) (where x and y are integers) and it would automatically write “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy yellow dog” and repeat it x-number of times in each of y-number of paragraphs. I haven’t been able to get that to work in a number of years, so I set out to write my own filler text.
Problem is, I’m Blair. My filler text sentence is slightly longer than what Word used to create. But I only had to repeat it once per paragraph.
The quick brown fox jumped swiftly over the lazy yellow dog who was dozing under a willow tree with the sun high in an azure sky full of birds singing about what a lovely day it was and what an amazingly lengthy run-on sentence this had become, what with its single minded obsession with having more and more detail about the previous detail, for example this detailed explanation of what the birds were singing about, but really, this is actually a very concise summary of what the birds were singing about because bird song is a quite descriptive language after all with a single note denoting hundreds of nuances about power to weight ratios and so on, but then, this sentence will repeat shortly.

Am I the only one who assumed the birds in question were swallows once he started on about power to weight ratios?
Well, aside from the run-on sentence difficulties, you made birdsong two words when it should be one, and your punctuation is atrocious.
But at least you didn’t spell judgment with that extra E.
