Do my HW for me?: write a poem...

[vAndreav]

for those of you who are bored: Ok so Zom was kind enough to write me a poem for my english assignment last time. Im alright with poems but frankly i dont have the time, so for this assignment you'll read a poem about 1920's flappers and then change some things. Here's the rules:

1. Choose a segment of modern society today - groups of people you see around school or in your community.
   2. Cluster as many ideas as possible surrounding this group: fashion, attitudes, vocabulary, actions, likes and dislikes.
   3. Write a poem like the one below. Use an AA BB rhyme scheme. Substitute nouns for nouns, verbs for verbs, and adjectives for adjectives.
   4. Copy a few of the phrases from the poem below such as: "The...here we see" to begin your poem, and "[His/Her/Their] golden rule is..." to end the poem.
   5. Be specific in the poem so that the reader gets a true sense of the group you are writing about.

The poem:

"The Flapper"
by Dorothy Parker

The playful flapper here we see,
The fairest of the fair.
She's not what Grandma used to be,
You might say, au contraire.
Her girlish ways may make a stir,
Her manners cause a scene,
But there is no more harm in her
Than in a submarine.
She nightly knocks for many a goal
The usual dancing men.
Her speed is great but her control
Is something else again.
All spotlights focus on her pranks.
All tongues her prowess herald.
For which she well may render thanks
To God and Scott Fitzgerald.
Her golden rule is plain enough -
Just get them young and treat them rough.

What you really need is time management.


or maybe not. If you can keep getting your work done for you, maybe you have what it takes to be a leader.

Here's a poem, though it doesn't fit the rhyme scheme:

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I am schizophrenic
and so am I

You are excused.

It's a nice poem though

"The Rapper"
by Mmmmmm

The pimpin’ rapper here we see,
The dopest of the hood.
He's not what Grandmasta used to be,
You might say, ‘he’s ma blood’.
His thuggin’ ways make him da bomb,
His bling make him look fine,
And there is a tattoo on him; says “Mom”
That he got while doin’ time.
His baggy pants slow him down
When runnin’ from tha cops.
He’s packin’ when he goes to town
Don’t be the one he pops.
All them ‘ho’s checkin’ out his grill.
All gangstas, his rhymes, they dig.
Bein’ West Coast he may well be killed
Like 2Pac and Notorious BIG.
His newest disc, it was just released -
Featuring Snoop and JZ – Yo, peace.

The Slapper

The pitiful slapper here we see
the garish of the gare
a grandma at 23 she will be
you might say "silly mare"
her grimly ways cause a stir
her manners make me scream
there's more disgust in her
than a submariners wet dream
daily knocked-up, that's her goal
with the usual drunken men
her legs are out of control
open for business again
cc-tv zooms in on her crowd
like her tongue, her arms are tied
hear her moan out loud
"fuck this I'm getting tired"
her only rule is plain enough
just get 'em young & treat 'em rough.

it don't scan too well but at least you can swear in it eh!

love

Grim
p.s. yes maybe some words are made up (a bit?)

After "The Flapper"
by Dorothy Parker

"The Hipster"

The playful hipster here we see,
The wannest of the wan.
He's not what hip guys used to be,
Over his shoes he'd rather fawn.
His snarky ways may make a stir,
His tattoos cause a scene,
But there's less sexiness in him
Than in a shy preteen.
He patly pouts for many a shot
On his simpering MySpace page.
His gab is great but hot he's not
He'll never act his age.
His cool is backed by all the banks.
No empty belly will he ever have.
For which he well may render thanks
To Daddy and Madison Ave.
His golden rule is "life's a bluff" -
Acting grown-up merely fluff.

[left out]

The Morrissey Fan's a peculiar type
They rarely hunt in packs
They hang around on internet sites
And gather lots of facts.

Eternal discussion on height, weight and size
Is never quite resolved
He loves to sing and never tells lies
Or rather, so I'm told.

For various reasons they worship the man
For music, style or lust
But the single rule that they all have
Is this "In Moz We Trust".
