Sounds Like Edgar Allan Poe(m)
A prisoners' newspaper in Britain says it may have to axe its poetry page if inmates don't stop plagiarising poems in a bid to win a £25 prize. In one case an inmate stole work by Robert Frost, the American poet, while another lifted song lyrics from James Brown.

Critique Of `One Small Steppe For Man’
How Elvis And James Brown Faced The Music
This critique of Passing Sentence Game #3 is by Andrea Beattie, well-known reviewer, queen of pop culture and editor of the Citybeat section of mX newspaper. Here is what she said about One Small Steppe For Man.
``What a ride! Only the creative minds of bloggers from across the world could come up with a yarn that has just about everything - time travel, bloodthirsty conquerors, Seinfeld and sex, drugs and rock'n'roll. I loved the musical flavour of this story, particularly Elvis thumbing his nose at James Brown's trademark dance moves; a world away from where the action began in dusty 15th century Mongolia.
Placing the notoriously ruthless and cold-blooded Khan brothers at the epicentre for peace, free love and understanding was also a keystroke of genius. And don't get me started on the Seinfeld reference! Congratulations to all involved. Well done. Bring on the next one!''
