Great! That's going to be sooo easy..

Anyway, John it's
A Nursery Rhyme
as it might have been written by William Wordsworth

The skylark and the jay sang loud and long,
The sun was calm and bright, the air was sweet,

you probably remember it so I'll continue for those who don't know it..

When all at once I heard above the throng
Of jocund birds a single plaintive bleat.

And, turning, saw, as one sees in a dream,
It was a Sheep had broke the moorland peace
With his sad cry, a creature who did seem
The blackest thing that ever wore a fleece.

I walked towards him on the stony track
And, pausing for a while between two crags,
I asked him, 'Have you wool upon your back?'
Thus he bespeak, 'Enough to fill three bags.'

Most courtesly, in measued tones, he told
Who would receive each bag and where they dwelt;
And oft, now years have passed and I am old,
I recollect with joy that inky pelt.

-Wendy Cope.

But folks, does it matter whether letters or words are used? The same letters are employed in any event.

So my Yeats would be a legit entry.

William Blake's "The Tyger"

Grubby herring, gritty gent
In the hogs-for-fetish tent:
What a horny retailed norm!
A fully rummy, farfetched storm!

That's all I have patience for at the moment--I may add more stanzas later. Anyway, I'm sure this will inspire some of you to do better than I have. Using http://wordsmith.org/anagram/ is the only way to attempt this exercise without wasting too much of your life.
