Most of Emily Dickenson's poems can also, by the way, be sung quite well to the tune of "The Yellow Rose of Texas". Mrs. Benson, my 11th grade English teacher demonstrated this and was a big sucess. Despite our suggestions to take the act out to Vegas and stop giving us essays and themes to write, she continued to teach English and is now (I think) over 325 years old, and still teaching.
