T-Rex: Guess what, everyone?! Robert Frost's "Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening" is now in the public domain!!
T-Rex: Or should we say, MY "Stopping By The Woods On A Snowy Evening"??
T-Rex: Because anything in the public domain is up for grabs, Dromiceiomimus!
Dromiceiomimus: Yeah, for like - adaptation?? Scribbling out Frost's name and writing in yours instead is still just PLAGIARISM.
Dromiceiomimus: Like, entry-level baby's-first-plagiarism??
T-Rex: I disagree! It's part of my CREATIVE PROCESS, and now it's LEGAL.
Utahraptor: Technically, yes!!
Utahraptor: Public domain means you can do anything with it, including absurdly claiming that YOU wrote it yourself: a claim which, if true, would imply it's not actually in the public domain.
T-Rex: OH SNAP!! This is even better than I thought!! Quick, to the poetry magazine!
Narrator: LATER, AT THE POETRY MAGAZINE:
Off panel: Whose poem this is, I think I know.
T-Rex: His work is public domain though! He will not see me stopping here to bite his classic poem flow!!
Off panel: YEAH
Off panel: Cause he's DEAD
