November 8th, 2010 by Cobwebs

One of the links I featured in a link dump a while back was to this xkcd cartoon, which noted that poems in ballad meter can be sung to the tune of “Gilligan’s Island.” That sparked a flurry of comments, all suggesting creative ways to completely ruin poetry.

And then pdq dug up this:

I’m…going to go sit in a corner and whimper now.

    I “hear” all of Emily Dickinson’s poetry to the tune of “Yellow Rose of Texas”, in my head. Sung by Elvis.
