"The Raven" x5

To aptly share about my teaching day that ended wet and drizzly gray
I  mention first that 'cept for one with reading, classes were just English 2 and 3, not 4.
Assignment given, multiplied by five; to read from Lit Book certain poem that, true, I've
never studied much, yet still determined to survive the classes, I taught them something more
about Poe's "Raven" than (confession!) either of us ever knew before.

Google, Wikipedia, the Lit Book, plus some notes marked in the margins, took us quite far into Poe's rhyme scheme, imagery, and background. High school rocks.
