Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
just how many I'd had, I made the bathroom floor all beery.


The sea is calm tonight.
Let's go clamming.

Life was Too Much Wife

Here dead we lie because we did not choose
to countenance betrayal by Ted Hughes.

My Grades Suck

The weeping Pleiads wester,
bewailing last semester.

The 50s, continued

Stars, I have seen them fall;
So much for Nembutal.

Not Quite the Same Problem

I to my perils;
Martha to Merrill's.

Here once the embattled farmers stood.
The sheep observed, "They're poppin' wood."

To a New England Folk Hero

There was a young man from Nantucket,
who would tease about sex, and then duck it.


This One is Lovely, Dark and Deep

Tiger, Tiger, burning bright,
Swedish girls are dynamite!

American Therapy

When in disgrace with Fortune and men's eyes,
Relax. Go home. Get naked. Have some pies.

Shelley Cautions Keats

Life, like a dome of many colored glass,
When sat upon will lacerate your ass.

On Lyrical Effusion

Piping down the valleys wild
Incontinence my pants defiled.

Blanket Hog

"Why so pale and wan, fond lover?"
"I'm freezing cold! Quit hogging the cover!"

Stop me! Help me! I'm addicted!


Frost’s Fear

I found a dimpled spider, fat and white:
Did God design this creature out of spite?

An Unearned Ode

Thou still unravished bride of quietness,
Unrivalled tattooed urn, will you undress?

Cool Snowman

One must have a mind of winter
and a heart of spring to win her.

Grave Directions

Go to the western gate, Luke Havergal,
turn right, then left, and you will have your gal.


It’s the Contrast, Stupid!

A thing of beauty is a joy forever,
But mortal ugliness must be its father.

To a Friend

I ask but one thing of you, only one,
don’t say you love me, or we’ll be undone.


I Wandered Lonely

I wandered lonely as a cloud,
but I could not have been as proud.

I just can't seem to be humorous...

I sent my mother a link to this thread because I think it's hysterical. She replied with these. :)

I must go down to the sea again;
I've left my clogs and the tide's due in.

When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes
Cool Martha says those charges all are lies.
