But still... I've heard those Wimpy Kid books are real winners with all the kiddo readers. You should have just tipped your hat, smacked your chaps and said you were a sexy Cowboy.

I took the idea of a cowboy costume from Diary of a Wimpy Kid, nobody got it. Just a lot of weird looks. Double baseball hats. I made the mistake of going as a book character as well.

I heard a Fly buzz – when I died – The Stillness in the Room Was like the Stillness in the Air – Between the Heaves of Storm – or Because I could not stop for Death – He kindly stopped for me – The Carriage held but just Ourselves – And Immortality. (etc) Maybe Poetry & Popular Culture knows? How would Zombie Dickinson disorder these?!

I heard a Fly buzz – when I died –
The Stillness in the Room
Was like the Stillness in the Air –
Between the Heaves of Storm –

or

Because I could not stop for Death –
He kindly stopped for me –
The Carriage held but just Ourselves –
And Immortality.

(etc)

Maybe Poetry & Popular Culture knows?
