Numpty moment of the week, on discussing the difference between Samuel Coleridge Taylor and Samuel Taylor Coleridge:

 

Dad: He wrote 'Khubla Khan'.
Me: Isn't that the one about the tiger?
D: No. It's about Khubla Khan.
M: Wasn't he a tiger?
D: No.
M: Then which is the one about the tiger?
D: 'The Tiger'.
M: Then what am I thinking of?
Mum: Shere Khan from ' The Jungle Book'?
Me: ...ah.

You're too young to know your Frankie Goes To Hollywood. "In Xanadu did Kubla Khan, a pleasuredome erect" which is bastardised from the Taylor Coleridge

When we did those poems in school my teacher said 'Oooh, a pleasure dome-- I'll have a dozen.'

At the time I was horrified at the idea of my teacher having pleasure-anything. I mean ick, he was so old! (I am now about the age he was then.)

Adorable, yes, but it does demonstrate how much my brain has melted since I left education.
