I've been snickering about this for the last few days

Epitaph for an Explorer
By Ogdan Nash

Tiger, tiger, my mistake,
I thought you were William Blake.

  1. Reminds me of my own geniositical epigram re William Blake.

    The Rose

    O rose, thou art sick
    to despite thy beauty
    be such a prick.

    ... or my favorite Rudyard Kipling poem, which I once used in a speech meet:

    The Secret of the Polar Bear
    by Rudyard Kipling

    The secret of the polar bear
    Is that he wears long underwear.

    - D. Blues
