    This is a poem by William Carlos Williams. It's interpreted as an apology note to his wife that he left on the fridge for eating her plums.

    In English class, my teacher told us how this poem is apparently notorious for having spoofs making fun of it. This is actually true since I found a bunch of spoofs on the internet such as my favorite,

    and then there's this one,

    .

    So yeah, I kinda stole the last two from this site that wouldn't be hard to find if you tried to research it. ANYWAYS Our homework assignment was to make a spoof of the poem and it was actually pretty fun considering the humor it takes to parody this thing so I was wondering what you guys could come up with :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I had a funny one but my teacher has it.. if this thread isn't completely dead by the time I get my paper back, I'll be sure to put it up :]

    That is hilarious! Hmm...here goes (please don't judge my poetry skills based on this :grin:)

    Mother,
    here’s the truth
    Your cooking
    Is not that bad!

    But I continued to
    give it to the houseplants,
    And on one occasion
    Your sister

    I threw out the plants
    this morning
    and your sister is buried
    next Tuesday

    This is just to say....

    I put laxatives in your coffee this morning
    prepare yourself for explosive diarrhea
    at the big meeting today

    Everyone will laugh at you
    and see what a little poop
    you truly are

    Forgive me
    I'm laughing because you decided
    to wear all white today

    When you come home
    You will find the bathtub filled with Jello
    So red, fruity, and delicious



    This is what I sorta had, as far as I can remember at least :]

    I did not write this! Just passing on the genius.

    This is just to say

    I have eaten
    the brains
    that were in
    your skull

    and which
    you were probably
    using
    for survival

    forgive me
    they were delicious
    so sweet
    and BRAAAAAINS
