"Yes, I have read a poem. Try not to faint" Cannoli Send a noteboard - 22/07/2015 06:06:03 PM

I can do several nonsense poems (like The Owl and the Pussycat, and The Ning Nang Nong, and the Jabberwocky), and most of Kubla Khan by Coleridge. I also know sections of the Rhime of the Ancient Mariner and several sonnets by different 16th century poets.

That quote occurred to me earlier in light of this issue, so your mention of Coleridge is hilariously on point.

Hm. Probably not. A number of lines, yes, but not whole poems. - 23/07/2015 09:59:22 PM 676 Views
