Shift your brain into high gear
Ponder a song that was ere a poem
Plenty to choose, I'm sure you know 'em
In the comments have them arrayed
After nine you'll hear some played
 
Here's what we played:
 
The Jam "That's Entertainment"
Paul Drew "Entertainment"
 
Dum Dum Girls "Rimbaud Eyes"
Arthur Rimbaud "The Drunken Boat"
 
Sarah Jarosz "Annabelle Lee"
Edgar Allan Poe "Annabelle Lee"
 
Traffic "John Barleycorn Must Die"
Traditional "John Barleycorn"
