    They’ll be OK as long as they don’t go w/him on the walking tour of Baltimore…

    Okay, you’ve used up all the Poe puns I was about to throw out there. So instead, a small homage to Edgar: My 13-year-old chanced upon a copy of The Raven and began reading it over and over till he could recite it. And it’s not like his buddies even knew about it. Never seen him do anything like that with any other poem.

    This could swing either way. It’s the pits.

    twinkle, twinkle, little bat; how I wonder what you’re at. up above the world so high, like a tea-tray in the sky…

    For you are a child, and I am a child, In our funhouse by the sea, But we play with a play that is more than play, We and our Annabel Lee, In the sepulchre there by the sea, In her tomb by the sounding sea.

    “Why is a raven like a writing desk?” is from Alice In Wonderland, intended to be a nonsense riddle with no answer. One solution, by Sam Loyd, is, “Because Poe wrote on both.” [/picky]

    The sponsors of this show will never Prospero.

    Or maybe they will, seeing what happened to Prospero.

    Hoomi, is that an original verse? Quite lovely and disturbing–A.A. Milne meets E.A. Poe…

    That’s a Poe excuse for a children’s show…

    J2P2, the verse is from Poe’s “Annabelle Lee.” It’s in his collected poems here:

    http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/10031/pg10031.txt

    gutenberg.org has all his works. Read them and you’ll see that when it came to creeping out people, he had a real Gold-Bug up his ahem.

    LOL!!! That may have the same effect as watching “Barney” or “The Teletubbies.”

    Frankr: That wasn’t Pogo, it was Lewis Carroll.

    And the rest of you: you’re all the worst punsters I’ve seen this side of Callahan’s place.

    Puns? Didn’t Shakespeare refer to Poe’s poems as “Poesy?

    @JP Steve (Assuming you’re serious) Since William Shakespeare died in 1616 while Edgar Allan Poe wasn’t born until 1809, it seems rather unlikely that Shakespeare would have commented on Poe’s poems.
