While I pondered weak and weary
O'er forgotten volumes literary,
And having no time to go and make merry
As the words on the page grew small and bleary
And thoughts of "Dreamland" warm and cheery:
I, finding myself no longer wary
Let out a shriek that was really quite scary--
Quoth my raving, "Nevermore!"
---C. Marie Byars, 1985
