I'm still scratching my head ... I know the poems have all been altered, because "The Raven" and "The Jabberwocky" were two of my favorite poems as a kid....

Haku finally told me the answer ... there is NO WAY I would have gotten that one on my own; my brain simply doesn't work that way. Simple as pi to a mathematician ... but I'm not a mathematician....
Good luck, guys!!!
