I didn't. Thank you for continuing my education.
I didn't. Maybe a parrot would have been better.
No idea!
hugs
Donna
Polly wouldn't have been as threatening...
I did not know that! Ha ha. He was oddly talkative.
I bet the parrot would have said 🤬 and that's why Edgar had to change the bird to a Raven. Have a great day!
I would never have imagined this. How might have a parrot worked in the poem?
Interesting
No, but that's pretty cool.
EC, Whether you want it or not. Hehe.
Andrew, Ha. Just can't see it:)
Donna, Who'd a thought. Right? Hugs received and returned.
Alex, That must be why Polly lost the part:)
Diana, Indeed:)
CJ, That must be it. Hehe.
Jamie, I don't see how it would have. Glad he thought of the raven.
Christine, Glad you think so:)
Jeanie, Would have been a whole different poem, wouldn't it?
That's funny. A parrot would totally change the feeling of the poem. Quoth the parrot, Let's drink margaritas on the beach.
Love,
Janie
Uy no lo sabía. Te mando un beso
I did not know that, Sandra. Would have a different feel.xo
Hi Sandra - I didn't know that ... I must read more by Poe ... thanks for this - cheers Hilary
Janie, Heh. Love it.
J.P. Sending you a hug.
Denise, For sure.
Hils, Right there with ya. I need to read more Poe too.
I had no idea, but it is an interesting fact.
A parrot doesn't seem like it would have the same vibe, somehow...
Elizabeth, I thought so too:)
Annalisa, Poe must have thought so too:)
I didn't know that!
All the best Jan
