Sort of interesting....

Reminds me of a project never completed - due to an onset of good sense - on whose part, I won't specify.

Imagine Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land" done as a rap....

To Wordsworth:
    A Sonnet

    Two voices are there: one is of the deep;
    It learns the storm-cloud's thunderous melody,
    Now roars, now murmurs with the changing sea,
    Now bird-like pipes, now closes soft in sleep:
    And one is of an old half-witted sheep
    Which bleats articulate monotony,
    And indicates that two and one are three,
    That grass is green, lakes damp, and mountains steep:
    And, Wordsworth, both are thine: at certain times
    Forth from the heart of thy melodious rhymes,
    The form and pressure of high thoughts will burst:
    At other times--good Lord! I'd rather be
    Quite unacquainted with the ABC
    Than write such hopeless rubbish as thy worst.

    -- J. K. Stephen (1859–1892)
