Wednesday, 9.3: To My Dear and Loving Husband

Directions from class today:


Your homework: write a parody poem modeled after “To my Dear and Loving Husband”on page 112 of our textbook

Your parody poem can be written about ANYTHING--really, anything you want.

To my Dear and Loving Golf Clubs”

“To my Dear and Loving Flaming Hot Cheeto’s (my all-time favorite)

“To my Dear and Loving Cell Phone”

“To my Dear and Loving Boyfriend”

Your poem should be 12 lines long, and include a hyperbole. You should try to model it as best you can after the poem. Poem needs to have a consistent rhyme scheme--AB, AA BB, ABC, whatever. Poem needs to have parallelism.

Poem is due at the beginning of the hour on Thursday. Extra credit for anyone who volunteers to present. Creativity is also part of the grade.
My example poem:

TO MY DEAR AND LOVING ROYALS
If ever you were to continue winning, then surely this year,

If ever you  stop winning, then my heart is filled with fear.

If ever a playoff appearance is on our minds,

We need you to get there, for all of mankind!

We have been in a playoff drought since the dinosaur days,

Please don’t let this just be a phase!

Kansas City fans have an suffered enough,

We’ve endured too many years that were tough.

You’ve made us think the playoffs are next,

If you don’t make it, we will surely be vexed.

Then while we live, please make this dream come true.
Then when we live no more, we can have this to carry us through
