Optional Illusions

Haha, I saw it already...

The first part of this makes a nice acrostic raspberry sound, have you noticed?

The Smiths "The Queen is Dead" will always be ultra sublime music and poetry (sorry Morrissey, I know you don't want to be sublime).  Pink Floyd, obviously, would be slightly less wonderful if you actually had to make sense of the words... Lucy and The Walrus will survive though.  (Mr Kite has an uphill battle, given his origins)

L2, "so" is screwing it up for me, what about "peppercorn pageantry, haughtily cultural"?

"Acid rain dropping" is lovely.  Well, not the actual stuff obviously, but the words.

The metric shift in the couplet is funny as hell, given the words -- subtle and fantastic.  But now I'm going to be singing "lovely Rita, meter maid" for far too long (thirty two seconds is far too long).
