Our poetry teacher Prakash Subedi says one of the best ways to appreciate a good poem is to compose parodies of them. So, he had assigned us to write parodies of the well-known poem 'This Is Just To Say' by William Carlos Williams. Thus, here are a couple of parodies written by me:
First, lets look at the original poem:
This Is Just To Say
by William Carlos WilliamsI 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
Parody 1:
I have torn
the note
that you had
left here
and which
you were probably
wishing
me to read
forgive me
I was tired
so drowsy
and so drunk.
Parody 2:
I have dialed
the numbers
that were on
your cell
and which
you were probably
saving
for your affairs
forgive me
they talked to me
so sweet
and so merry.
