Umm, but then it wouldn't be the greatest. novella. ever.

Besides, at least where the title is concerned, good Mr. Bradbury was only quoting Shakespeare.

...and I don't think we can blame Shakespeare for living in a time when English sucked He was just working with what he was given.

Poetry takes many forms, and they don't all suck (Dr. Seuss rocks!). The only kind of poetry that sucks, in my mind, is fake poetry - the kind that people write while pretending to be introspective, powerful, philosophical, or critical, but just end up being stupid.
