Tribute to a Master

The Lighter side of Edgar Allan Poe........
Well, this is meant as a tribute to the master on his b-day last January 19 (read a book dammit!)...and a parody too, for all sakes.
Contrary to popular notion, not all of Poe's tales are scary. Yes, they're dark and brooding, and one can almost be lost by the strangeness of his tales...but, after I have read almost 50 of his stories (and counting!) and poems, some are light and humorous...they kind of reminded me of the satirical works of Voltaire (Uh, oh, bibliophile speaking!).
Well, I'll leave you all with this^^I don't wanna sound like a Poe scholar...
