Did you know that all Emily Dickinson poems can be sung to the tune of "The Yellow Rose of Texas"?

Although she willed that her complete works be burned after her death, Emily Dickinson's version of 'Yellow Rose of Texas' made it to the present day virtually unchanged over the years--even her music has survived!

My crazy stalker girl loudly announced here undying platonic love of Texas - really harshing my mellow.

I used to love Texas and sad smoking men, but then my eyes went all crazy and so I had to take a break.

Hurrah! my 'Yellow Rose of Texas' was recognisable.

I had never heard of the song. The yellow rose is the symbol of platonic love, though.

All Emily Dickinson poems can also be sung to the tune of the Gilligans Island, but I thought that would be harder to draw.

An awful tempest mashed the air,
The clouds were gaunt and few;
A black, as of a spectre's cloak,
Hid heaven and earth from view.

For example.

Curse you, Liani. I'm going to have Gilligan's Island stuck in my head all week.

Liani: Awesome. You just made school a little bit more enjoyable.
