Edgar Allan Poe,

Your stories are full of woe. 

When I read your books,

I am on tenterhooks,

Whether to read you,

Or bid your stories adieu!!

Oh Poe, you are full of woe,

That if the walls could read

They would then understand the need, 

Why we want to be freed from this melancholy! 

Edgar Allan Poe wish you could

inject some humour into your stories and poetry, 

Instead of being macabre and morose 

Chin up! And in heaven where you reside, 

Write merry stories! 

Bhavani Ram
