I just wrote my entire English paper in iambic freaking pentameter. It's about Dante's Divine Comedy, i think he'd approve. I'm either the coolest person ever or the stupidest. Maybe a little of both. here's the prologue:
When living in the day and age of prose
one must admit that verse more truly glows.
With simple prose I found myself quite bored,
And hoped myself inspired of the Lord
To give my arguments for acts of speech,
Five iambs at a time your mind to reach.
Forgive my lack of skill in classic verse,
and please place not my grade within a hearse.
Recall the words of Shakespeare's lady great,
When, for the merchant, she did advocate.
I ask your grace; and if I should displease
I at your mercy ask to have your leave
that I may try my best to speak my mind
while using that old longer vulgar line.
Hereafter I endeavor to explain
but hopefully it will you entertain.
To read so many papers seems a bore,
My hope is that you'll find this slightly more.
This weekend is going to be good, and closely followed by thanksgiving break.
