Once upon a mignight dreary, while I ponderd weak and weary, over a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, while I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of someone gently rapping at my chamber door..... Excerpt from The Raven 1845 By Edgar Alan Poe

I fail to see the "Humor" in this... except for maybe your errors in quoting Poe  Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. "'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door-- Only this, and nothing more." I can quote the rest of it too if you like...  ------------------ "We have a strange and wonderful relationship. You're strange and I'm wonderful."

quote: Originally posted by Axalon:Yes, which goes to prove it was Poe's sword  "The pen is mightier than the sword."
Could this be perhaps thy inspiration???  *DeJa Vu???  ------------------ Pink?? Hmmm .. Not so bad a color if you "really" think about it. (Use your imagination);-) [This message has been edited by Axalon (edited 03 April 2002).]

Hrm... this is Humor forum, right? Well... you probably sawme post this parody in the sword topic in OT forum, but anyway... here goes...Once upon a midnight dreary, while I websurfed, weak and weary, Over many a strange and spurious website of 'hot chicks galore', While I clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, And my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour. "'Tis not possible," I muttered, "give me back my cheap hardcore!" - Quoth the server, "404". [404 message from plinko.net] Just in case you're wondering, no, I didn't write it. Watcher ------------------ The sentence below is true. The sentence above is false.
