Quoth the Shannon, "Do not go."

Ah, distinctly I remember, it was in the warm October
And we traveled to Richmond on a Saturday's bore,
Eagerly I sought Poe, to see his museum, I was gung-ho.
From the museum, it was quite depressing, depressing for the Lost Ed'Poe,
For the weird young man whom his mother named Ed'Poe,
Terrible museum, do not go.

From the second stanza in The Raven

  1. Oh, Poe.
    How I enjoy your poetry and prose.
    But on the word of dear Shannon,
    to your museum I will not go.

    :(

  2. Ha! It really was terrible, and I LOVE all museums. But not this one. It was SO TINY. Literally, some spots were so tight that only one person could be in an area at a time. It was SO small. And there was ZERO info on his life, besides his mother dying so early and him being adopted :\ Shoot, I learned WAY more in English class!! Sad, I know :[ It was listed on the "Top 10 Things To Do In Richmond," so I really thought it would be good. :\
