I should have done this years ago... Look at this.. appears you are right..

HERE I never knew what it mean when a poem had a copyright. I never knew if you had to offer proof that it is original work in its entirety, I did notice a word here is different in different versions. Can you get a copyright for a poem if you didn't write it, but change the words?

I would say you had better not try, that's called plagiarism.Serious stuff, stealing someone's words then claiming to have written them.
