interesting scheme on it.  I understand it but don't know the correct
way of presenting it. :-)

Carol responds:

Right. Geoff's "EAP" indicates that he also knew the author, if not
the title of the poem. (Now, if I'd included, "Quoth the Raven, 'Never
mor!'" everyone would have gotten it.

I'll explain the meter and rhyme scheme in a moment, but it's complex
and some people will probably either fall asleep or pull their hair
out in confusion.

Carol, not sure how many posts this little quiz will involve!
