you may all be well aware of this but for those that aren't,
it is vaguely interesting, nominally exciting, and a pleasant
19 second respite from whatever boring task you may have
at hand.
the poems of emily dickinson can all be read to the tune of
the first verse of the Giligans Island theme song.
check it out below.

lycidias transcribed ms e. dickinson thusly:

God grows above--so those who pray
Horizons--must ascend--
And so I stepped upon the North
To see this Curious Friend--

His House was not--no sign had He--
By Chimney--nor by Door
Could I infer his Residence--
Vast Prairies of Air

Unbroken by a Settler--
Were all that I could see--
Infinitude--Had'st Thou no Face
That I might look on Thee ?
