I bet Chaucer would have LOVED hip-hop

The Internet is a magical place, with many wonders to share.  

This little project reminds me of my middle-school English teacher who tried to get us to memorize Longfellow's Evangeline to song. I guess she was way ahead of her time.

And if any of you have similar artistic leanings, you know where to find me.
