Should be pretty easy.

What does this poem represent?

One

A Poem


A Raven


Midnights so dreary, tired and weary,

Silently pondering volumes extolling all by-now obsolete lore.
During my rather long nap - the weirdest tap!
An ominous vibrating sound disturbing my chamber's antedoor.
"This", I whispered quietly, "I ignore".

 

[TheSlash]

The Simpsons'?

 

[Tom]

Sounds like an IRC chat room

 

[Coxster]

Someone being woken up by the guard on a train?

 

[Tom B]

Nope. It represents something else....

Bit of a clue - it's akin to c or e.

Anyone else want to have a try, or shall I give the solution?

[Jonno2055]

Sound to me like someone who can't be bothered to open the door!

 

[Tom B]

Uber-massive clue:

Count the number of letters in each word.

 

[Daniel]

A neighbers music, the sound vibrating the walls during the night, and the person trying to get to sleep and ignore it?

Dunno where the numbers bit comes in though

Midnights so dreary, tired and weary,

Silently pondering volumes extolling all by-now obsolete lore.

An ominous vibrating sound disturbing my chamber's antedoor.
"This", I whispered quietly, "I ignore".

If you count the number of letters in each word, you end up with the constant pi. The whole poem goes on quite a way.
