Wordsworth Parody

Daffodils

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.


Big Yellow Flowers

O.k., so I was wandering, I was lonely,
and I felt like a cloud I was so wasted when I saw
these big yellow flowers. I mean not only
were they big, there was a bazillion all
along the banks. The wind made 'em look like they
were dancing. I mean it was so awesome it
was hard to take it all in on the spot. No way
was I gonna remember such a buzz. But shit
man, later that night when I crashed, I thought about
'em again, and I mean like it was even better.
And I wasn't even wasted. It was fuckin' far out.
It's not like I remembered the whole thing to the letter,
but more like lying right there on the bed
with a wide-screen TV inside my head.
