Put your MP3 player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first is the title.
So this is Christmas
It scares me to speak my mind
You're a little bit shy
When I find myself in times of trouble
You say, "Why does everything revolve around you?"
If you had my love
The lamp is burning low upon my table top
We met at a place where people go to get laid
Science wears a new suit
Well let me tell you, if you're feeling alone
You ain't no little angel no more
Took a trip on a bus that I didn't know
I took a taxi from LA to Venus in 1985
I hear the clock, it's 6am
Can't wait to get home
It's coming on Christmas
It may not be that classy, begging just to eat
She was so young with such innocent eyes
You're not my eater
No more talk of darkness
If I had a million dollars
