Lavender Heath of a Midwinter Morn: A Tragedy in Nine Acts

Thrice Etched on Heimdal's Runestone

Poem-a-day, poem-a-day, twaddle-de-tripe,
be thee like Carroll and hunt thee a snipe.
Poem-a-day, poem-a-day, drivel-de-dee,
the pageys are blankey as blankey can be.

Poem-a-day, poem-a-day, grey be my locks,
beard be unshaven and fragrant me socks.
Poem-a-day, poem-a-day, dead be the muse,
she lay in de corner and she decompuse.

Poem-a-day, poem-a-day, cursed be the one
commandeth a ditty with each rising sun.
Poem-a-day, poem-a-day, cursed be the page
that soaketh up nothing but impotent rage.

Poem-a-day, poem-a-day, scratchy me scalp,
scrape in the papers to find me some help.
Poem-a-day, poem-a-day, dead be the Pope,
useless is he for he rhyme not with strophe.

Poem-a-day, poem-a-day, nearing the end!
What say you, the middle? Call you thee a friend?
Poem-a-day, poem-a-day, he soon am I
who type in The Shining that singular line.

Poem-a-day, poem-a-day, babble-de-bunk,
be thee like Eco and write thee a monk.
Poem-a-day, poem-a-day, hooey-de-hee,
the pageys are blankey as blankey can be.

Hilarious stuff!

Hilarious stuff!
Deliciously malicious!

dead be the muse

In addition to being quite entertaining, this one turned out to be
quite educational, as I investigate all unfamiliar references.
