19	* 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:
20	-->''One thing that literature would be greatly the better for''
21	-->''Would be a more restricted employment by authors of simile and [[PainfulRhyme metaphor]].''
22	** ...and it continues in that vein.
23	--->''Now then, this particular Assyrian, the one whose cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold,''
24	--->''Just what does the poet mean when he says he came down like a wolf on the fold?''
25	--->''In heaven and earth [[Theatre/{{Hamlet}} more than is dreamed of in our philosophy]] there are a great many things,''
26	--->''But I don't imagine that among them there is a wolf with purple and gold cohorts or purple and gold anythings.''

28	[[AC:WebComics]]
29	* ''Webcomic/HarkAVagrant'': Byron's appetite is played up for laughs:

31	** Lord Byron appears as a particularly horny but "nice" man while Creator/MaryShelley is mourning the death of her child. Things are not helped when ReferencedBy/PercyByssheShelley can't figure out why his wife is so upset and [[http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=56 doesn't want to sleep with his friends.]]
32	** [[http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=298 Lady Isabella is depicted as protecting her daughter Ada from poets like they're dangerous.]] She contemptuously compares Ada having sympathy for them to something Byron would say.
