I used to do one of Bradbury's poems as a dramatic reading when I was in forensics club in college. The poem may be called simply "The Whale" -- that was its theme, in any case, a theme Bradbury returns to now and again and that possibly arises from his work on the screenplay with John Huston for Moby Dick. In any case, there is a wonderful line that goes "God pinions thee!" I was reading the poem aloud at a practice when one of our members walked in late, just as that line came around. I intoned it and pointed right at him. There was a moment of flummox. ( )
