    Nevermore nevermore nevermore
    Nevermore nevermore
    Nevermore nevermore
    Nevermore nevermore nevermore

  2. COOL! Great find…might even show this to the poetry writing class next term. I hadn’t seen Bad Gods before, but I believe that is the same writer who did the Brunching Shuttlecocks long ago… right on, DJG!
