Let’s have some fun today, guys!

I’m sure everybody’s familiar with Mad Libs, right? You know, these things…

Well, a lot of people used to do these things as kids. At least, I did after I found my older sister’s original Mad Libs book from the 80s yellowing in the bottom of the dresser she handed down to me…

But, if you aren’t familiar, all you do with Mad Libs is come up with random words based on what you’re told to give (for example, give a past-tense verb, give a color, etc.), and then you fill them into the story on the next page, kind of like color by number, but with words. Normally, the stories turn out pretty funny or ridiculous, which is probably why kids love them so much… But, today, we’re gonna try this old trick poem-style!

So, come up with words that are funny/random or more poetic/abstract… it’s up to you!

Now, here’s the words I’ll have you come up with. You can either write/type them down, or just save them mentally. Then, add them into the poem I came up with below by number! Easy, right?

Here we go.
