Oh, that sounds interesting! I like Poe. In middle school, we had an English teacher whose last name was a cow breed, which is something she embraced. We had a Poe unit, and we each wrote parodies of Poe stories or poems with a "cow" in them. So I did "Cow's Bell Lee" instead of Annabel Lee. Like "It was many and many a year ago in a pasture by the sea..." I know someone did "The Cow" instead of "The Raven." She was a lot of fun.
