"This Is Just To Say" by William Carlos Williams

Yesterday my dad told me about how people are revamping/rewriting "This Is Just To Say." The song lyric variations are awesome. A twitter account is tweeting out different versions here: https://twitter.com/JustToSayBot. I may just have to convince my students to give this creative writing exercise a try.

This Is Just To Say
By William Carlos Williams

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
