The Evening Caller

by MoeMoeChan365

This is my parody of the infamous "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe, where I talk about my job being an evening shift phone operator and front desk receptionist. In order for it to keep the rhyme scheme, you have to pronounce "computer" as "com-pew-tour" with emphasis on every syllable. I do not own "The Raven" or any of Poe's writing styles, forms, works, etc.

The Evening Caller

Once upon an evening dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,

Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,

While I studied, simply reading, suddenly there came a ringing,

As of some one gently singing, singing by my computer.

'Tis some caller,' I muttered, `ringing by my computer -

Only this, and nothing more.'
