“Why Dorothy Wordsworth is Not as Famous as her Brother”

“I wandered lonely as a…
They’re in the top drawer, William,
Under your socks -
I wandered lonely as a -
No not that drawer, the top one.
I wandered by myself -
Well wear the ones you can find.
No, don’t get overwrought my dear, I’m coming.

“I wandered lonely as a -
Lonely as a cloud when -
Soft-boiled egg, yes my dear,
As usual, three minutes -
As a cloud which floats -
Look, I said I’ll cook it,
Just hold on will you -
All right, I’m coming.

“One day I was out for a walk
When I saw this flock -
It can’t be too hard, it had three minutes.
Well put some butter in it. -
This host of golden daffodils
As I was out for a stroll one -
“Oh you fancy a stroll, do you?
Yes all right, William, I’m coming.
It’s on the peg. Under your hat.
I’ll bring my pad, shall I, in case
You want to jot something down?”

My Lit Dept is amazing. And they send amazing links. :P

This one is hilarious. And yet, now I can’t help but think of this everytime I come across Wordsworth’s poetry. And some, oh, many others too. So I look for solace in Hilda Doolittle :)
