The Raven.... ( Parody )

I had to write this for my Language Arts class:)

 Once upon a Monday dreary
While I slept, very weary
Suddenly, while I was napping, there came a loud tapping
For it was my mother rapping, rapping on my bedroom door
“ Wake up!” she called loudly.
I replied, head under my pillow, “Nevermore”

Oh yes, I do remember the fuss
For it was the the 25th of August
And the place I strongly dreaded was waiting for me
Eagerly I wished June- and wished that it would come soon
But school was awaiting me

Presently, I grew more sleepy, biting my tongue no longer
“ Mom,” said I, “ truly your forgiveness I implore;
But the fact is that I was napping, and so rudely you came rapping
Rapping at my chamber door
And when I heard you, as you opened wide my door
I realized my fate, and nothing more.”

Out of my chamber, turning, all my happiness gone and burning
And again I heard her yelling, much louder than before
“ Surely,” said she “ you could move much faster! ”

And this routine, never changing, always goes the same
And my eyes are quite tired, my body feeling lame
Everyday, those dreaded days, when she opens my door
All I ever want to do is scream, “  Nevermore! ”

A very humorous tale. Parody isn't easy, either! Well penned. You should enter it in the Make Us Laugh contest.

Hahaha, wonderful. Very nice parody to the Raven :D

[Jeffrey Gershom]

This was truely wonderful to read. I'm still grinning. :))) If only Poe could have had your sense of humour, he may have produced so much more.

Excellent!

[InkSlinger]

Indeed a delightful parody.. very much in the flow of the Raven, and some very clever, lines to boot!

An excellent parody indeed, Megan. It keeps the flow of the Raven very well. Nice job.
