You won't understand it unless you understand the concept of a disk block.

You see, what you see in fort in vast majority of the time
is disk blocks with language statement on your screen.
So, when it first comes up,
you better see a good Forth logo.
Else, it is almost a herecy not to see that.
What language you know that you even don't know
what it is when you exectute it?
Yep, you need a good logo!
Real fast now,
cause that munsta has been declared as awaken
a couple of days ago.
The money should be filling in the coffers real soon now.

It has beauty of its own.
