It's Back...Fun and Games with Jenners: This Is Just To Say

My "long-time" readers know I like to play games every so often. We've done everything from play "Family Feud" to photo riddles to writing short stories inspired by songs. I've taken a pretty long break from the games but now it is back!

The inspiration for this game was two-fold. First, on Friday I posted my little mixed-up William Carlos Williams poem about how I ate my Little One's leftover birthday cake. That post prompted my friend Michael5000 to forward me his own mixed-up version of the poem. (He wrote the poem with a male friend. I guess this is what dork guys do when alone and unsupervised! And I'm not being mean calling him a dork. His blog says it strives to be a leader in dork culture.) Naturally, I wondered what else could be done with this poem. So let's find out!

First, here is the original William Carlos Williams poem.

This Is Just To Say

I have eaten

the plums

that were in

the icebox

and which

you were probably

saving for

breakfast

Forgive me

they were delicious

so sweet

and so cold

Now here is my friend Michael5000's R-rated version of the poem, which is a bit raunchy but completely hilarious. (If you are easily offended, you might not want to continue on.)

I have lain

the woman

who was in

the guestroom

and whom

you were probably

keeping

away from me

Forgive me.

She was delicious

so sweet

and so tight.

Genius, no? I just thought Michael5000's version was so funny and I wondered what other scenarios could be done by playing around with the structure of this poem. Let's find out! Play around with it and come back here on Friday, October 2nd, to link up and share your version of "This Is Just To Say." I'll try another stab at it myself. Can't wait to see what you wonderfully creative people come up with!
