In a forest stood a man named Frost
It seems he was perfectly lost
Glancing east and west
And overly obsessed
With opportunity cost

Poetry. The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. By Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Condensed by Paul Klusman

A Mariner wrote an endless rime
About ships and a terrible time
It went on forever
The reader could never
Make it to the last line






Poetry. I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud. By William Wordsworth. Condensed by Paul Klusman.

A dude thinking he was a cloud
Saw flowers dancing in a crowd
On his couch did he lie
With an inward eye
His mind with shrooms endowed




Poetry. Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening. By Robert Frost. Condensed by Paul Klusman.

A man many miles from bed
Near trees in a horse-drawn sled
Paused on his course
Of the man thought the horse
The cold must have gone to his head



Poetry. Man from Nantucket. Revised by Paul Klusman.

In Nantucket a man there was
Anatomically blessed because
He performed a feat
I can't repeat
For the sake of profanity laws
