This just in. The mystery visitor who drops by Edgar Allan Poe’s gravesite every year on his birthday with a gift of roses and cognac has apparently missed a visit. It’s the first time in 60 years the tradition has been broken, according to the Associated Press.
Here’s hoping the mysterious mourner just missed his train or came down with the flu. I’d hate to think he’d been sealed into a wall somewhere or buried prematurely.
Ah’m Bubba of Borg. Y’all fixin’ to be assimilated.
