THIS IS THE BEST POEM I'VE EVER READ.
Thankyouthankyoutankewe!

I must now illustrate this. It has to become a children's tale. I do not know how I've missed it for so long.
I adore that you've posted it.

most glad to be of service. I get to see your illustrations of one of the most... um... notable poems in the history of mankind!
That is my decision.

I do not know if your indescribability is from good or bad things, but thinking about you makes me smile, and probably always will. Also, being crushed by a huge cheese would be an awesome way to go. Anything where you can imagine walking up to the Pearlies and St. Peter looking at you and saying "...Seriously?" is a good death.

And now, I will contribute a spleen poem that does not have cheese in it:

Spleen
T. S. Eliot

Sunday: this satisfied procession
Of definite Sunday faces;
Bonnets, silk hats, and conscious graces
In repetition that displaces
Your mental self-possession
By this unwarranted digression.

Evening, lights, and tea!
Children and cats in the alley;
Dejection unable to rally
Against this dull conspiracy.

And Life, a little bald and gray,
Languid, fastidious, and bland,
Waits, hat and gloves in hand,
Punctilious of tie and suit
(Somewhat impatient of delay)
On the doorstep of the Absolute.

If I ever find myself at the pearly gates, I'm going to scream and holler and try to convince people it was St. Peter done me in.
