The English-speaking world has a long history of knocking off EAP’s “The Raven,” the poetic gift that gives evermore. Here is a list of ten examples and this book on the poem has an excerpt of several verses from a 1856 parody called “The Parrot”:
“‘Beg your pardon, sir!’ I muttered, as I rose up, hurt and sore;
But the sailor only swore.”
The comedy troupe Studio C put together this Christmas version, which I share as a warning about what you request this year.
I hope the slight political dig at the end doesn’t soar the whole thing for anyone. It works in the flow of things.
