I love these!

These are fun! And they work for songwriters, too. Here's my attempt:

Barred Trollop
by Robert Pollard (of Guided by Voices)

The ash-blackened ax men are marching to war
While fat-fingered fascists are keeping the score
But nobody hears as the wizard implores:
Look to the skies!

Imploding suns collapse
On the backs
Of the bare-knuckle boxers

A wrinkled, blood-sotted day
Is in play
For the barred trollop out on the lam—
She's a marginal man

They're great, but something about the background of that page plays hell with my monitor.

Neither my own anagram program nor the internet anagram server can find an anagram for john lennon, so I guess he can't play in this game.

Very keen! I nicked this and posted it on the Blue. There are five "volumes" total, if you didn't click the link at the end.

DarkForest - it made my monitor wonky only when scrolling. Is it always weird for your monitor?

It was bad when scrolling, but even still it looked bit flickery, kind of like the flicker I used to see on analog monitors.

In that case, the electronic version of the book might be easier to read (e-version posted on the blue before, which I missed). Plus, it has a lot more anagrams.
