When I heard the learn’d astronomer; 
When the proofs, the figures, were arranged in Auto-tune before me; 
When I heard the sequencer pump out digital cheese-synth; 
When I, sitting, heard the astronomer yodel to an audience enraptured,
Their hands clutching hearts, eyes a-mist, lips a-quiver,
How soon, unaccountable, I became nauseous;       
Till rising and gliding out, I wander’d off by myself,  In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,  laughed until I soiled a perfectly good pair of trousers.
