[[AC:Poetry]]
* Ogden Nash's poem [[http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~pahk/poems/021221.html "Very Like a Whale"]] pokes fun at the dramatic imagery in some classic poems, including Byron's "The Destruction of Sennacherib." It opens with:
-->''One thing that literature would be greatly the better for''
-->''Would be a more restricted employment by authors of simile and [[PainfulRhyme metaphor]].''
** ...and it continues in that vein.
--->''Now then, this particular Assyrian, the one whose cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold,''
--->''Just what does the poet mean when he says he came down like a wolf on the fold?''
--->''In heaven and earth [[Theatre/{{Hamlet}} more than is dreamed of in our philosophy]] there are a great many things,''
--->''But I don't imagine that among them there is a wolf with purple and gold cohorts or purple and gold anythings.''
