Cute, but the main thought is lost behind that cuteness.

Please, formulate your idea in a concrete and concise way.

Larry Niven is not up everyone's taste, but I find that his Laws, such as they are, stand up reasonably well. On writing, he said this:

f you've nothing to say, say it any way you like. Stylistic innovations, contorted story lines or none, exotic or genderless pronouns, internal inconsistencies, the recipe for preparing your lover as a cannibal banquet: feel free. If what you have to say is important and/or difficult to follow, use the simplest language possible. If the reader doesn't get it, then let it not be your fault.

I wish this was taught in schools.

Lemmist: If the main idea is absent or completely hidden behind the verbiage then don't sulk that people don't try to get that idea.

A bit harsh. I was left thinking deeper about the subject matter by the end. If that's not the goal of this kind of writing then I don't know what is. I enjoyed this read.
