Once upon a midnight dreary <br />'I've heard that before.' <br />I am channeling Poe. <br /> <br />'You don't have to channel po' no 'mo. <br />I think you have been very successful. <br />I make a suggestion you channel some dough, <br />So you can pay me back the money you owe.' <br /> <br />You have no sympathy for artists at all, <br />Do you? <br /> <br />'Why should I have sympathy, <br />For somebody channeling po'? <br />Do you know how many people <br />Right outside that door, <br />That have painted that picture too long. <br />Now... <br />IF you can channel up some fish and grits, <br />I'll give you all the sympathy you want.' <br /> <br />Are you here to bug me or what? <br /> <br />'You go right ahead. <br />Channel up all the 'po' you want. <br />I aint into it. <br />I know a few folks, <br />Who are not painting those kinds of pictures. <br />You told me earlier <br />You were home alone writing!
