It's the end of the poem. I have the hard copy of the Chicago poems, but it's here online as well.

My lords, and you Achaean men-at-arms; you hope to sack King Priam's city and get home safely.

I like yours better. But here's mine:

"FOLDING-DOOR SPIDERS, Antrodiaetus, occur from the Gulf coast to Alaska."

Eek!

That was a lie, spiders are awesome.

This is true.

This thread mentions stockings and spiders and thus it is my favorite among many.

"Seventeenth-century Englishmen and women commonly consulted the world of magic for answers; numerous books were available and occult practitioners were frequently consulted, even by the upper classes."

I love these type of memes but I think that my friends are sick of me posting them. So I'll torment you!

Ha ha, I would prefer it this way, actually, because I'm relatively meme naive and missed a lot of the good ones when people first posted them.
