Andrew suggests:
"Just wait until we get to the Emily Dickinson and start
singing it to the tune of `The Yellow Rose of Texas' (all her poems
fit - no really)."
But so does "Auld Lang Syne"!
(One can also hum "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" to "Hernando's
Hideaway" from THE PAJAMA GAME.)
I believe the point was made some time ago that when someone sued Mad Magazine
for one of its musical paraodies, the judge ruled that you can't copyright
iambic pentameter (or whatever)!
