How pretty
To take
A merry little rhyme
In a jolly little time
And poke it,
And choke it,
Change it, arrange it,
Straight-lace it, deface it,
Pleat it with pleats,
Sheet it with sheets
Of empty conceits,
And chop and chew.
And hack and hew.
And weld it into a uniform stanza,
And evolve a neat,
Complacent, complete,
Academic extravaganza!

The first poem talks about the process of transforming a simple, joyful rhyme into a structured, formal piece, criticizing the academic approach to poetry that can stifle creativity and spontaneity. It uses playful language and repetitive sounds to emphasize the mechanical nature of this transformation. In contrast, "You Go to My Head" is a song that conveys emotions and personal feelings through music. It is broken into stanzas, with each stanza contributing to the overall narrative or emotional expression. This song, unlike the first poem, focuses on the influence of music on the singer, Billie Holiday, and how it connects to her experiences and emotions. The first poem criticizes the rigid structure and conformity of academic poetry, while "You Go to My Head" celebrates the emotional and personal connections that music can evoke. These differences highlight varying approaches to artistic expression and the impact of form and content on the interpretation and reception of a piece.
