the 'Raven' is a diner that lapps the sea foreshore it haunts my mangled memory as it raps upon my door apple tart and finest cheesecake when I can't eat no more yet alas quoth the raven :
ordermore!
broad bearded, prone to rages I have slept in many cages but I've always paid the wages of society and more but this subtle evil keening.. like the ghost of hungers meaning darkens up my mind demeaning all the goodness in my chore still yet quoth the raven :
"ordermore!"
after working in the oceans and toiling in it's potions to the gym with weighted motions to rid my thoughts of lore ice water by the bucket and the urge to utter 'f*ckit' ' as the ghost of fried chicken knocks upon my chamber door still yet quoth the raven :
ordermore!
with my car key slowly listing and my sad eyes sadly misting I find myself resisting that dark relentless shore yet the road it takes me quickly to a shore that makes me sickly to those arches painted thickly with blood red signs above the door yet alas quoth the raven
ordermore!
with my sanity at its border the smiling waitress takes my order as my savagery implores her to feed me more and more with the devil in the kitchen and the smells emerging bitchin' I devour like a lion all the carcass blood and gore still eternal quoth the raven :
Edgar Alan Poe was definitely NOT one of my favorite poets. 8th grade English teacher was obsessed by him and showed a movie of his poem where the heart was beating in the wall/floor, etc. Scared the begebees out of me!! Nope he wasn't my favorite poet. However, your version is a lot better. Great write!
