How they Brought the Good News From Ghent To Aix

How they Brought the Good News From Ghent To Aix is an 1838 poem by Robert Browning. Browning wrote it while at sea, sailing from London to Trieste. The work itself describes an imaginary incident.[1]

The poem was parodied by W. C. Sellar and R. J. Yeatman in their book Horse Nonsense as "How I Brought the Good News from Aix to Ghent (or Vice Versa)".[2]
