Enjoy it, guys.
Which is the best narrative poem about a ship crew, The Rime of The Ancient Mariner or The Hunting of the Snark?

Carroll was a pedo, ergo... Carroll.
Honestly? I don't know. Just enjoy both.
>My garments all were dank

Heehee, just like my black twitter memes. Dank doesn't just mean wet or soggy like it did when Coleridge wrote this poem in the 18th century; now dank is a slang term popular with high schoolers that refers to something of high quality. The dichotomy between stuffy white Coledrige and cool WoC slang is very funny and unexpected. Thanks for sharing this with me anon, it was a very on fleek insight that merited everybody's attention
Have a great day, my best of friends, and keep pushing those memes

>WoC
I'm pretty sure men use 'dank' too anon.

>wah, men need representation in your post too
>but what about men?
>has anybody asked what a MAN thinks?
You just can't stand it when everybody isn't talking about you, huh
>>7397251
Well you're just no fun huh. Got a quota over there from the fun police?
Also eat a dick

If only there was gender neutral word for people.
>taking the troll post seriously
>>7397264
Now this is advanced shitposting
>>7397266
Nah kill yourself. That poster is right. Keep your dogshit memes on reddit and /tv/.

have to say that I prefer the Richard Burton recording. But I'm biased because I grew up with it.

Water, water, every where,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink.
The very deep did rot: O Christ!
That ever this should be!
Yea, slimy things did crawl with legs
Upon the slimy sea.

5/5 bwetty good.
Thanks man. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

I personally enjoy Ian McKellen's voice, but I have to admit that Richard Burton's version is pretty expressive too.
Here's another McKellen's great work:

Rime isn't even about a ship crew dude
this is def. my fav. part. Thinkin' about getting it tattooed:
The many men, so beautiful!
And they all dead did lie;
And a thousand thousand slimy things
Lived on; and so did I.

This is about a rape
>Literally about a dude getting jerked around by spooky ghosts and not doing anything about it
Still one of my favourite poems ever.
