This is pretty much a youtube short.

The music does not go well with this reading. It's a biased subliminal influence. "The music is so charming. It must point to some deeper meaning in the poetry..." "All poetry should have a beautiful accompaniment. The music matches the feeling of the poem exactly." "Poetry is this grand thing, and needs the best music when you read it."
