The Dreams of Hannah

I dreamed I went to my Performance of Literature class and found out I had to perform something that DAY. My instructor had told us it needed to be a poem at least 30 lines long (he told us that IRL too). So I'm desperately flipping thru my Lit book trying to find a 30-line poem I can memorize in like five minutes. I find some songs from Aida in there (the Disneyfied version, not the opera... that's HARDLY literature) and decide to perform "I Know the Truth." But one of the girls behind me said she was going to do that. Then she was like, "Well, actually, a medley of that and How I Know You." Then the lights went down and we sat down to watch the show and I was still frantically flipping through my book to find stuff. My instructor started getting ticked at the girl who performed the Aida medley and was grumbling, "I shoulda just had all these people perform 'The Bridge'!" which was a poem by... erm, I believe Mozart. Hmm.
