Exercise 3


 I have eaten the plums that were in the icebox - William Carlos Williams

 
William Carlos Williams has a really interesting style; it's also extremely plain 
jane and boring to some of his readers.
Here is my parody of his poem, This is Just To Say...

I just wanted 
To say that
I drank your tequila

Your Liqour tasted
extremely expensive
but I don't care

I also ate 
Your Bagel Bites
Sorry I'm not Sorry

I tried to present my lines in the same manner of syllables and represent a 
mirror image of Williams 3 stanzas.Honestly, I don't know why anyone would   keep plums in an icebox. Ice box is also two words but Williams doesn't pay    much attention to grammar, so neither did I. I left the lines open ended to 
leave a false sense of spacing despite the lack of punctuation.
