Holy Shit! 39 fucking versions of the first stanza of The Village Blacksmith by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

Under a spreading chestnut-tree
The village smithy stands;
The smith, a mighty man is he,
With large and sinewy hands;
And the muscles of his brawny arms
Are strong as iron bands.

He's vast this Bard, Larry Brash,
Poet! Demigod! Many letters
Winds chins, dun whims 'n' hash;
Wrote anagram challenge fetters
It's human madness? Insanity?
Hi! Any anguished getters?

This bastard Larry Brash;
Man! This poet, many letters
Winds chins, dun whims 'n' hash;
Wrote anagram challenge fetters
Demigod? Madness? Vie insanity,
Hush...! Any anguished getters?

Shun his height? He's in 'gram!

In lion's teeth an' swallowed him...

Country Vicar Sunday hymns;
Heed with air sermons' truth,
God led the Way if Satan sings;
Mass between, right "Amen"
Herald Messiah grants thine sins!

A man in the street empties bins;
Rotten eggs, hardier rats,
Scavenge willy-nilly, he bangs tins!
A fetor wishy-washy shit...
Eh rash man? Hear hand dins!

Smells rotten shit, grime and swine;

Hardy grub hogs, tasty meat,
Ah via urn, a seat, 'n' dine!

In a country gardener's state
Lilies shine 'n' flowerbeds;
Seeds tiny grow and germinate;
Ah, vast man, has tan, hath buds;
H'mm, sympathy? Calm thrushes sing
Within his garden treads.

This gentlest artist carpenter
His wood engravings sunny;
What hand-made ash, laurel timber,
Hums, cherished fingers tidy;
Yews, elms, artist, hand-in-hand
As man's best mahogany!

Damn ass he runs, 'n' tiny lad
Puny smart-arse stones he slings!
Hard they fight, then damn wet,
David and Goliath rub chins!
Smart-arse misses the great iceman
Wry be he! Goliath wins!
