Conjuring Up ‘Poe’try


While traveling with the Wienermobile, I was fortunate enough to learn about the life of one of the best writers in American History, Edgar Allan Poe. The site is a memorial and the original resting place of the beloved and haunted writer.

In honor of The Raven what is undoubtedly one of his most famous works, I have written a parody.


Rave-On
By Torey Toppings

Once upon a Wienermobile cheery, while I pondered, deep and dearly,
Over many a fresh and delicious volume of franks in the store,
While I nodded, just recapping, suddenly there came a snacking,
As of some one gently smacking, smacking by the fridge door.
“‘Tis an eater,” I smiled, “snacking at the fridge door -
A lover of hot dogs, and nothing more.”

  1. I love Edgar Allen Poe. His poetry made soggy, dreary days mysterious and edgy.
