thatcrazycajunGaily ganked from wcg, a meme that instructs you to post your favorite poem in honor of today being World Poetry Day.
Unfortunately, I can't pick just one favorite poem from the many I've read and savored over the years, but here's one I have enjoyed since high school, where I first encountered it along with much else of the goodness that was created by the late Rudy Kipling.

The Ballad of East and West (linked to save your friends page as it is a tad long)
