I figure song lyrics count, as long as what appeals to you is the lyrics, not just the combination of lyrics and music. Ditto religious texts or epic poems/myth.[1] And benarian claimed the entire /A Midsummer Night's Dream/, which was kind of cool.

[1] Don't mind me, I had this sudden horrible horrible vision of a list which consisted entirely of quotes from The Book of Nod, The Silver Record, the Revelations of the Dark Mother, and the paperback version of the Necronomicon.

Purely curious, what's it about? D'you remember a line or two?

you should post the poems, they'd be fun to read. I personally would love to read the one on getting pregnant :P

Getting Pregnant by Lorna Crozier (1992)

You can't get pregnant
if it's your first time.

You can't get pregnant
if you do it standing up,
if you don't French kiss,
if you pretend
you won't let him
but just can't stop.

You can't get pregnant
if you go to the bathroom
right after,
if you ride a horse
bareback, if you jump
up and down on one leg,
if you lie in the snow
till your bum feels numb,
if you do it in the shower,
if you eat garlic,
if you wear a girdle,
if it's only your second time.

You cen't get pregnant
if he keeps his socks on,
if he's captain of the football team,
if he says he loves you,
if he comes quickly,
if you don't come at all,
if it's only your third time.

You can't get pregnant
if he tells you
you won't.
