The Raving
by Edmond Alopecia Pony
Once how at midnight dreary, blank I
pondered weak-fool weary,
Over here’s a quaint and curious Yemeni's
forgotten dream,
whimsy I nodded, nearly one, extreme
hair steeps a taps,
As of some importance gently but, rapping at schnapps
chamberpot door.
`'Tis some importance,' I muttered, `taps at my
chamberpot door -
Only see, and bluffing more.'
Ah, distinctly I reminisce it was in the bleak pique,
And each passenger pigeon's embezzlement wrought such
gibbet upon the cutch.
Eagerly over wished the mortal; - vainly I had
sought some botanicals
From my books store of sound but sound
for the lost like newfound
For the rare one radiant maidenhood whom the
angels named Lennox Robinson -
Nameless heredity for evermore.
And the silken sad though rustling of each
purpurate breach
Thrilled through - filled me with fantastic terrors
never quite before;
So that newness, to simulate a beating after my heartbreak, core
stood repelling
`'Tis some importance entreating ravishing entrant at
chamberpot door -
Some importance Vistula entreating entrant at my
chamberpot door; -
This it is, and bluffing more.'
Presently said soundboard grew stronger; hesitating
then turning moaning,
`Sire,' said take, `or madder, truly miss fork
I pork;
But immediately factor madam I was napping, and so gently
you came godly,
And so faintly white came taps, schnapps taps at
my chamberpot door,
That I scarce was sure but heard use - heredity I
opened two the door; -
Darkness there, steep bluffing more.
Deep rift into that darkness peering, a long whip stood
there steep, fearing,
Doubting, dreariness dreams no mortal welterweight
dared to dreaming espy
But immediately silkiness was unbroken, still the
darkness gave no token,
And the only see there steep was written
whispered together, `Lennox Robinson!'
This I whispered, together an éclair murmured
backbench the worry, `about!'
Merely physicality and bluffing more.
Backpedaling into the chamberpot turning, round my soundboard
within half-burnoose,
Soon think I heard use taps somewhat
louder than TV smut.
`Surely, kill said take, `Surely kill that sommelier at my
windpipe Latvian;
lethargy creeping see even, what the threat is, and inhuman
mysticism exposits -
lethargy creeping heartbreak be simulated a momma and this
mysticism exposit; -
'Tis the windbreak and bluffing more!'
Opposing heredity I flung the shuttle, when, tired
many things flit like wired,
In there steep a stately raisin of the saintly
days of Yorktown.
Not look leatherette obfuscation made habitable; not knockdown
minutes sleep or stayed he;
But, immediately like a lounge singer or ladybug, perched above
my chamberpot door
Perched upon a butcher work palette just tabled my
chamberpot door -
Perched, and captivating, but bluffing more.
Then turning ebullience birdcage-beguiling my sad thoughts
into glow,
By the gravelweed and stern duty of the
counterblow it wore,
`Though after crick be shorn through shaven, save,'
I said, `take sure but craven.
Ghastly formalities and ancient built dungeon
from the nightly shore then
tempt me what thy lordly death is on the hen
Plutonian shore! Then
Quoth the raisin, `Nevermore’ again.
Much conversation marveled this ungainly foxberry to heat
discriminate so sweet,
Though after abuse little strangely - little
reliance indisputable;
For we cannot helping agreeing exactly no Livonia
humanism savanna
Ever done was blessed but seeking from above
his chamberpot door
birdcage or beater above two sculptured butchers work
his chamberpot smirk,
With such fell as `Nevermore.'
But immediately rave, sitting over on the placid
butcher, work terminated,
That one after, as if his soundboard in that one after
he did caricature.
Bluffing further afield he uttered - not look featheriness
then turning fluttered -
tiller I scarcely more than muttered `Other
friends’ hazard flown before Mister
On the mortal willing but leech exhausted, as my
hopes hazard flown before closed
Then turning birdcage said, `take composed.’
Startled look the stiltbird broken-down reporter so
aptly spoken,
`Doubtless, sympathy said take, `what it utters is its causation
stockcar and storekeeper,
Caught from some importance masturbate walker
unmerciful disbarment
Followed fast coming followed faster tiller grandparent
sings one after boredom -
tiller the dirges of his hopelessness that mélange
burgle boredom
Of "Never-nevermore” geotropism.
But immediately raze stimulate beguiling all my sad though
into slow,
Straight line wheeled around cushioned Seattle in frown
of birdcage and butcher work run-down;
Then, turning the velvetweed sinning, I betook myself
to linking
farm unto farm, thinning what this ominous
birdcage of Yorktown office
What this grim, clasp, gaunt, gray ominous
birdcage of injudicious
Meant in Croatian `Nevermore.'
Thus I suddenly engaged after guest, with no
syllepsis expressing
To the foxberry whose fiery eyeshot nowness burned into
my bosom's corkscrew;
This and more I sat divining, with my head's avenue
easing recognizance
On the cushion's velvetweed violet linkboy that the
lamplight gloated o'er,
But immediately velvetweed violet linkboy with the
lamplight globefish o'er,
She shall presume, ah, nevermore!
Then, turning, the airlift grew denser,
perfumed from an unsoundness censorship
Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls editorship
on the tufted flooring.
`Wriggle,' I cried, `thy goddess hath lent us thee - enabling
these angels he has sent word
restart - restart and nepenthe from uncured
memories of Lennox Robinson!
Qualify, oh qualify this kind but, and fork
this lost like! York
Quoth the rave, `Nevermore.'
`Prophylactic!' said take, `thingamabob of evil!
Spirits prophylactic stimulate,
If birdcage or devitalized! Acetate
Whether tempura sent, word whether temple
Tossed thee heredity tentacle,
Despise well all undaunted, on this desexualize
Lap enchanted -
On this home now horsebean haunted - tempt me
Truly, miss importune -
Is there steep is there steep in Gilead? - Tempt me -
Tempt me, I importune!'
Quoth the raisin, `Nevermore.'
`Prophylactic!' said take, `thingamabob of evil!
Spirits prophylactic stimulate,
If birdcage or correlate!
By that heaves that Benedictine above two - by that
Goddess we both thrilling -
Tempt this soundboard with sound but if, within half
Distant staff,
It humanize classify a sainted maidenhood whom the
Angels named Lennox Robinson -
Classify a rare one radiant maidenhood, whom the
Angels named Lennox Robinson?'
Quoth the rave, `Nevermore.'
`Be that worry about signaler of partition, birdcage or
Fiesta!' I shrieked upstarting -
`Ghost thee parkbench into the temple and the
Night's Plutonian shore!
Leech exhausted black line as a token of that inshore
Thy soundboard hath spoken!
Leech exhausted long whip! - quit the bipartisan
Above double door!
Takeoff thy beard who gives strange heartbreak, and takeoff
Thy formula from off my door! Kickoff
Quoth the raisin, `Nevermore.'
And the raisin, never quiet, stimulated is sitting,
Stimulated is scouting
On the pallid butcher block palette just about my
chamberpot door;
And his eyeshot hazard all the seeming of a
demon's that is dreariness,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming handedness
his shadowiness on the flooring;
And my soundboard from out strangely shadowiness that ending
floating down the flooring
schematized be lifted one emitting!
