Poetic Parodies Challenge

Well, I think this group has a tenfold gift of sense of humor, and so we should all write parodies! YAY!

A parody is a satiric imitation of a work or of an author with the idea of ridiculing his work. In this case we will be ridiculing the poetry. Take any famous poem and write your mocks out! =]

Send it to me when you're done:
livin4dawun@aol.com

Deadline: May 1st. I'll give everyone enough time. Then I will post the poems up on that day for voting.

Example:

(Original Work)

The Road Not Taken, by: Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

(The Parody)

The Man Not Taken by: akaPEACHES

Two men sprawled in bed looking good,
Sorry I could not keep them both.
Being one woman, long I stood
And checked out one as far as I could
Estimating his financial growth.

Then took the other with balding hair
And having perhaps a little shame
Because he was skinny, no muscles to bare
Though as for that the time spent there
Had proven their sexuality about the same.

And both that morning equally lay
in sheets so silky smooth and black.
Oh, I reserved the first for another day.
Yet knowing a good time goes a long way,
I doubted if he would ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a cry,
Somewhere nine months hither and hence.
Two men sprawled in bed, and I,
I chose the one who told the vasectomy lie.
I wish I had known the difference!
