If you were to....
 
...turn a poem into a song, which poem would you do. You can list anywhere between 1-3 examples. It can be a poem from a forum, or a published (as in in a book) poem, but if it is a forum, provide a link, please.

1. Etheridge Knight - Feeling Fucked up.
I'd do it with FAST instrumentals, and singing real fast...like Black Flag or something.

2. Countee Cullen - From The Dark Tower.
It'd probably sound something like a mix of Bad Religion's "Boot Stamping On A Human Face Forever," and RX Bandits' "In All Rwanda's Glory."

3. Tony Hoagland - Self-Improvment
I'd do this in a very humorous NOFX way, as the words suggest I should.
