NEVER SAY NEVERMORE

NEWSWIRE--A scholar of Edgar Allen Poe says that because the author wrote most of his works in Philadelphia, his burial place should be moved to there from Baltimore.

As they do in Philly often, folks will dream of how the coffin
Of the hometown author Edgar might escape the Harbor Shore:
Pennsylvania, he should be in; they're prepared for his debris, in
Hopes his casket might be stolen, stolen as it holds his gore.

'Til that town with love of brothers gets some shovels on the chore,
Poe remains in Baltimore.
