re: 9th grade lit boox

Given the extent to which at least the public school curriculum has been dumbed down and the consequent moron production ensuing, I think it unlikely that such a poem would even appear in contemporary texts, much less be appreciated or even understood by more than a tiny fraction of the student body.

who’s woods these are I think I know
his house is in the village though
he will not see me stopping here
to write my name in yellow snow
sorry bout that.

Elissa, it is irritating, but if that was all it was, I’d ignore the condemnatory comments but leave them up. Trouble is, ErosBlog has a firm editorial policy against condemning anybody’s kink. (There are some things I think are sick, but I keep my mouth shut about ‘em.) I’m discovering I’m not willing to abandon that policy for the entertainment of random trolls.
However, I’m considering adopting the hilarious proceedure pioneered over at Making Light, where the posts of trolls (and sometimes, if Teresa’s having a grumpy day, other tendentious people of insufficient wit) are simply divested of all vowels. It’s a bit of work, but appears to yield amusement sufficient unto the effort.

DUDE! Why must you do that to all the songs that my school’s choir sings…..you already did that to The Gift to be Simple and it makes it difficult for me to explain to people why I’m always laughing when they sing it……

Some people just do not have enough things to do with their time. I don’t really get it….do they think that their lowly opinion is going to change minds?….ugh….I hardly ever get comments…though I did get comments about my S/m pics posted on my site….someone told me that “those aren’t cute, why do you post such gross things”….I mostly just laugh….though I can understand if it happens more than occasionally how that could be irritating…

Thanks, Elissa! Although I can’t claim much credit for literacy, considering that the poem is in every ninth grade English textbook.
