Poetry has already done so, in the person of the cartoon character Robert Pinsky interacting with Marge Simpson's precocious daughter Lisa and giving a poetry reading, all within one episode of "The Simpsons". Pinsky was fully involved and I remember him being termed a "good sport" about the process. I have no doubt he looked at it as part of the competitive sport of achieving popular fame via poetry, though I wonder if he heard the sound of Yvor Winters turning over in his grave throughout the broadcast of that episode.
