Description: Emily Dickinson Sung to Gilligan's Island
Stole this bit from articled called the Edge in the Oregonian newspaper:
The poems of Emily Dickinson are majorly dreary and depressing. But
thankfully, most of her stuff perks right up if you sing it to the
"Gilligan's Island" theme. Give it a try:
Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me;
The carriage held but just ourselves
And immortality.
Or try this one:
I heard a fly buzz when I died;
The stillness round my form
Was like the stillness in the air
Between the heaves of storm.
