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.....

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."

Could this be perhaps thy inspiration???

Pink?? Hmmm .. Not so bad a color if you "really" think about it. (Use your imagination);-)

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.
