B-2: Who Am I?
Alice seems to have trouble remembering the poem 'How doth the little-'. With that in mind, pick a famous poem of choice and rewrite it in a most nonsensical way. (you must provide link to original poem within your item)


I will lay me down and dream now, dream of where I'm free,
I'll gather rainbows, mist, and hope, 'til a castle's made:
Nine unicorns I'll meet there, all running by the sea,
I'll dance behind them to their glade.
And I shall dream a dragon there, flying high and low,
Flaming through my dream bright sky on iridescent wings,
Slipping through the northern lights across the moonlight glow,
We'll find the place the phoenix sings.
Together we will chase the wind, in night and out of day,
We'll spin and dance like whirligigs, along a stormy shore,
Until some un-dream startles me, then up from where I lay,
Then up dream-caught and write some more.

The Lake Isle of Innisfree
William Butler Yeats

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honeybee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart's core.
