OK:
1. Paragraphs are cool. After a few sentences,
throw in a pair of line breaks, not just one.
No need to save paper ...
2. Short phrases are cool. Mark them with
*the* most wonderful typographical invention
(after "word space"), namely, the "comma".
3. Throw in line breaks all over the place,
especially following a comma,
to simulate blank verse or song lyrics.
4. Use even more line breaks
(and commas (and parens)).
Result:
Nobody ever asks me for more punctuation,
they just trash the content.
