Here's a present.

Awww... sanguinity's comment explains the joke better than I could, but I wanted to say, the fact that you could very easily miss the joke IS the joke. So you're not wrong to read this as a vid about John as a poet and writer, with feelings overflowing all over the place, to beautiful music. That is the point of the vid. It's just, for him to be this particular poet is kind of ridiculous.
