Each line traces out the shape of a letter, if you move from one letter to the next on a computer keyboard. The first several lines, traced out on a QWERTY keyboard, spell out DVORAK. Indeed, the next several lines do not trace anything sensible on QWERTY, but do when traced on the DVORAK keyboard layout. Continue in this way, switching keyboard layouts before every boxed and bolded line:
