The Guns of Auguste

It is my contention, based on conclusivedotal anecdata, that William Carlos Williams’ “This is Just to Say” is officially the most-parodied poem in history. If you don’t know the poem, you suck, and here it is:

This is Just to Say

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

After the jump, I’ve decided to collect some of the better specimens of spoof/satire/tribute for posterity.

Mariska Hargitay’s son is named August.

Coincidence? I think not.

No, not really. Dammit.
