"Francis Heaney" anagrams into "finery has acne." Just so you all know.

I already posted this on AlcoveBoard, but as many people as possible need to know about this.

Some deranged madman named Francis Heaney has written a number of poems and short plays in the style of various famous poets and playwrights. The deranged part? Each work is titled with an anagram of the famous writer's name. Examples include "IRS Law Code" by Oscar Wilde, "My Valentine Isn't Clad" by Edna St. Vincent Millay, "nice smug me" by e. e. cummings, and "Multicolored Argyle Sea" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge:

It is an ancient Mariner,
And he taketh lots of drugs,
And he thinks his beard is made of snakes
And his body crawls with bugs...

And so on. The point is, it's utterly brilliant and hi-larious and you should all go read it.
