song lyrics

There are tons of memes about bands, being a musician, and nerdy music theory references, but we've got some special musical memes and tweets today that are a clever play on familiar tunes. Here, we'll try one:

Dashing through the net
On a hunt for funny memes
All the memes we get
It's the content of our dreams
Posting all the time
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to post and share
A bunch of memes tonight

Funny memes, funny memes
Funny all the way
Oh, what fun it is to meme
I could scroll and laugh all day, hey!

Twitter users have been having a lot of fun this week riffing on William Carlos Williams' classic poem, "This is Just To Say." The plum-loving poem's fame, length, and rhythm have made it the target of many parodies. This latest treatment blends the three-verse poem with popular song lyrics - ranging from Linkin Park to Leonard Cohen. The results are an unexpected delight for poetry and music lovers alike. 

"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"
