This particular challenge was annoying on my levels. It has to be written in Iambic Pentameter. In other words, every line have to be five groups, first word unstressed, second work stressed. And I had to do this with words chosen not by me. The words had be to be used so that if its more than two syllables, they fit into the rhythm. Its enough to make your ears bleed!
I broke the 'feet' up with symbols, so you know where the pauses are. This is the last time I take your advice, Leslie.
With thanks to James, Angi, Jessica, and (grudgingly) Leslie...
I walked | and sang | a stu|pid song,
Marked | by a | quiescent | quandary,
Should | I buy | the Jiving | Jabber | wocky
So nicely | priced | at Richt | ley's Retail?
I bought | and grasped | it giggling,
I drove | it past | the ditz | y drivers,
To her | place near | the tall | fir tree,
I ate | too many | calor | ies,
My pain | in chest | was genu | ine
My heart | had died | from a | soda | can
Okay, not my best work. What do you think?
