My Bad.

My Bad

I have taken
your girl
she was at
your mom's house

I think
she was probably
waiting
for you there

My bad dude
she is amazing
so sweet
and all mine

For my parody, I chose to tell the story of me taking another person's girlfriend. I tried my best to imitate the form given by "This Is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams. There are minor changes here and there but all in all I kept the structure in tact. The syllables in each line of my parody are the same as the syllables in the original poem. I think it's a pretty shady thing to do and I don't condone doing something like this, but I just thought it would be funny for this assignment. My poem has nothing to do with the plums mentioned in the original poem but it does relate with the theme of asking for forgiveness from someone. The speaker in the original is asking to be forgiven for eating the plums but it seems like the speaker is trying to rub it in by saying how great the plums were. In that way, it doesn't seem like a very sincere apology. I did the same thing by saying that although I'm sorry for taking his girlfriend, I'm still going to rub it in his face by saying shes amazing and sweet and that she's all mine now.
