\nQuoth the Raven…
\nThreadless design by Amy Kollar Anderson<\/a><\/center><\/div>\n

It was a real drug midnight
\nswoooooooooooooooah dreary
\nI was goofing
\nBeat and weary
\nOver many a freakish volume of forgotten score
\nWhen suddenly there came a tapping
\nAs if some cat were gently riffing
\nKnocking rhythm at my pad’s door.
\nAh, “’tis the landlady,” I muttered
\nOn her broom she flies the rounding
\nSounding for her rent
\nWITCH only this and nothing more<\/p>\n

Ehh, ooh, will I ever get out of this feeling?
\nEmmm, emmmm,<\/p>\n

Ah, so solid I remember,
\nIt was in that wrought December
\nAnd it’s swingin’, jumpin’ ember
\nBlew it’s phantom upon the floor
\nGroovily I woo’d the morrow
\nStill hung I sought to borrow
\nFrom my book kicks
\nTo knock the sorrow
\nSorrow for my gone Lenore
\nFor that sweet, square but swingin’ maiden
\nWhom the fly chicks tagged Lenore
\nNameless here forevermore <\/p>\n
