Brit Lit

Jeremy’s English homework was to write a letter based on one of Shakespeare’s sonnets. His first idea was:

Dear Summer’s Day,
You remind me of this chick I know …

But being unsure of his teacher’s sense of humor, he opted for a different approach.

Think about how much the voice changes if synonyms are substituted for chick. Maybe this will evolve into a Write Night exercise.
