I took a guess, Googled it, and was proven correct. However, that has also disqualified me from the competition.

The first seven lines of this poem are flawlessly written and exhibit the same powerful display of rhyme an meter that would characterize the poet's later work. The remaining nine lines falter at several points, but still show hints of promise.

Wasn't the poet a rather short fellow with really long arms? Was his hair colored yellow?

Pendragon was 13 in 1820?

Pendragon says he already has one, so he probably also has the antidote (machete-proof helmet?).

I guess I cannot win the game,
and thus won’t take it to the bank
I can’t recall the fellow’s name,
but did he ever go by Hank?

As some men will grow tall, he wasn’t very long,
but into every fellow’s life some rain must fall.
As ships passing in the night, their song
tells us we didn’t really know Hank at all.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was a poet from Maine in the 1800's and is my
