    T.S. Eliot, The Hollow Men
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAWaZqDf-VE

    According to Michael Pendragon, this poem was intended as humor, which
    Eliot indicates by the sigh ("Alas!") in L4. So laugh away!

    Pendragon has often demonstrated his lack of understanding and appreciation of "modern poetry", of which T.S. Eliot is often considered the greatest.

    HTH and HAND.

    Even funnier is when Pendragon shares his delusional belief that he's a better poet than T.S. Eliot.
