Jane Eyre humour!!! (not 18th century material, I know)

I couldn't resist taking this link from Andrea's page about the new "Illustrated Jane Eyre" by comic-book artist Dame Darcy, whose "neo-Victorian, funky, Addams-family-style creations have won her a cult following." Governess Gone Goth... ha ha ha ha!!!!!

Since we're on the subject... I wrote this for the amusement of a fellow bookish friend of mine... thought I'd spread the nerdiness...

"Ode on a Governess"

Mad, Mad, Woman upstairs
She burns my bed down, I am scared.
But he, he, is so broody and hot
He fell off his horse and into my heart.
Oh gods! We cannot be one
I must run, far away from here
But wait, he's calling me,
With supernatural charm
I hear my name, and I must return...
He's blind but he's mine, now we are free
Our love burns through the ashes.
Too bad about his hand though.
