Lordy, how the Simpsons writers would have a field day with this if they saw it (and they didn't have potential lawsuits to worry about, though, of course, since fanfiction is technically defined as copyright infringement the law would be on their side, but...)

The Sideshow Bob poetry is perfect. I can imagine him giving an impromptu reading of it during a Krusty taping, followed by waves of fear, confusion, stark idol-worship, or laughter among the Springfield children (depending on age and personality, I guess) and the mobilization of the moms against Myers, followed by a censorship frenzy in which Marge is torn between her support of family values and of creative exprssion--

Hold up. That was already the theme of an episode. Darn it.

It would still be great to have Kelsey Grammer reading heartfelt death poetry as a campily-dressed animated character, though.

Gosh, that's incredibly funny *and* scary, though. Getting into the mindset of Sideshow Bob. Reminds me of those X-rated Pokémon fics I stumbled across.

Ar"not that I go intentionally looking for that sort of thing"thur
