So Much Depends Upon A Red Wheelbarrow

Yankee Pot Roast, a blog of literary satire, has a great spoof on poet William Carlos Williams, assuming that the famous modernist poet is your really bad roommate. Not as bad as the nudist obsessive-compulsive insomniac roommate that I had in college, but pretty bad. Here's a sample:

This Is Just to Say

I have eaten

the soy ice cream

that was in

the ice box

and which

you expressly asked

me

not to touch

Forgive me

it was so gross

I threw half of

it away

By the way, that's an extract from the book "Holy Tango of Literature" by Francis Heaney, which I find most funny, amusing and erudite :D.

The first time I read about William Carlos Williams was in this fantastic piece of anagram poetry: http://www.modernhumorist.com/mh/0005/anagram/
