Buffalo Bill becomes Lou Reed

Lou Reed's
transformed
                who used to
                play a psychedelic-ostrich
                                                   guitar
and pluck onetwothreefourfivesix stringsjustlikethat
                                                             Sweet Jane
she was a handsome man
                                   and what I want to know is
how is your NewYork boy
Mister Warhol



Ok, so perhaps this is in some way blasphemy but artistically i think it works on a few levels. You guys be the judge. As far as the plagiarism issue I'm curios if this crosses the line? Let me know.

Chazz, It is not plagiarism to enfold song titles or fragments of previous copyrighted material into poetry. In fact, it's called "Found Poetry" and was popularized during the Dada cultural and art movement. It's a fine tribute and I like the EE Cummings reference and stylization. Cheers/Chris

Thanks Chris,
I figured as much, but i also didn't want to post content that the pen wasn't allowed to have on the site. So i posted it here in case they needed to remove it and not me. Glad you enjoyed it.
Cheers,
Chazz
