and gave her poem fifty whacks.
It was painful to hear. It sounded something like

Good thing I didn't have a brick at hand. I might have ruined my tv. I would say it's just me being cranky (I don't like being read to), but others had similar reactions. Check the links at Poegles. There's also commentary at Althouse. If you compare the transcript (visual) of the poem to the way it was delivered, there is a disconnect. The poem (a prose poem) looks nothing like the way she made it sound. I'm pretty sure that's illegal.

Apparently the poem is written in tercets. This wasn't reflected in the transcript. I'm not sure it matters much one way or another, as it doesn't change the way it was presented orally. WHACK.
Yes it does whack. Very cool.
