Well, the poem isn't bad at all ... You wanted me to give [it] to you so I did. I see you liked it lol. OK, since you can type in Russian now I'll answer you in Russian too.

Is 'vobsheto' вообще то (or вообще-то) ? If so, what does то mean here? I mean, how would the meaning be different without it?

It means exactly "generally speaking". Often used as a parasite word. Like in this particular case.

Well, in my experience 'voobshe' is generally or generally speaking, and is used as a parasite word (for emphasis). My specific question regarded the addition of -to. How does that *change* the meaning, from simply using 'voobshe'.

"-то" at the end doesn't change meaning at all. It's just a parasite on top of another parasite.
