Once upon an eve’ning dreary, while I pondered, drunk and bleary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of whimsicle lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping on my bedroom floor.
“‘Tis some fuckery”, I muttered, “hopping ‘cross my bedroon floor —
Only this, and nothing more.”
