A poem
This is from How to Become Ridiculously Well-Read in One Evening, compiled by E. O. Parrott (Viking, Penguin Books, 1985). Its a collection of spoofs (about 1 page apiece, attempting to cleverly summarize famous works of literature). They range from letters to poems to sonnets to newspaper headlines to conversations. I posted two Austen ones in the Jane Austen thread.
