Once upon a midnight dreary
While I studied, weak and weary
O'er many a topic I had understood before

I tried to keep myself from weeping--
I wished so badly to be sleeping
Until I heard a knocking, knocking at my bedroom door

"What the heck?" I said (too loudly)
"Who dares interrupt so proudly
When I have important tests to study for?"

It's just the dog, I was desperately hoping
Then I heard the door creak open
And entered a black raven, who then uttered, "Nevermore."

I asked, "Is this some kind of joke?"
The bird did nothing more, but croaked-
Wait- you can guess it- freaking NEVERMORE.

"Gee," I said sarcastically,
"A talking bird has come for me.
I wonder where I've heard of this before."

The bird glared at me balefully,
And then once more it deigned to speak.
It's vocabulary consisted of one word, and nothing more.

"Get out of here you stupid bird!
You're such an interrupting turd!"
I shouted at the raven- and then I slammed the door.
Original poem belongs to Edgar Allen Poe, I just got bored a while back and put my reaction to a talking raven in the same format.
