Vincent Price!
After referencing Vincent Price's character on The Hilarious House of Frightenstein" as my first poetic influence, I thought I'd find some of his poems online.
Luckily I found one here.
Check it out if you want to know why Brian liked poetry as an eight-year-old.
Here's a different one I found in text:
The Librarian was quite upset and angry yesterday
He stomped his feet and slammed the doors and had a lot to say
“Another book is gone!” he cried, “Those mice have got to go
They keep on stealing books from me, and they’re eating them I know!”
Just then a mouse appeared, who seemed remarkably well groomed
“You’re right” he said, “We are to blame, but they’re not being consumed
We’ve had to come here once or twice and borrow from your resources
But only when we need help with our night school courses.”
“A school for mice!” the Librarian said, “I’ve never heard of that!”
“Oh yes” the mouse said, “Oh yes indeed. I’m studying to be a rat!”
