Creative Writing [Tuesday, 5th Period]
Today, Rick's class was back in the class-room, where Rick leant against his desk, his arms crossed and not at all looking like he'd redone his class-plan at the last moment.
When everyone had arrived, he began;
"Writers seem much more legit,
When they know how to edit.
Your works will never be best-selling,
If you seem to have no grasp of spelling.
An audience will start to clamour,
When you have atrocious grammar.
Likewise they'll think you're dense,
If you can't keep consistent tense.
Their opinions will certainly start to worsen,
When, random, you go from first- to third-person.
They'll start crying for their Momma,
If you can't learn to use a comma.
So to help ensure no nasty surprises,
Please to do the following exercises."
Rick pointed to a stack of print-outs, and sat back down behind his desk.

Re: Talk to Rick - CW [Week Five]
"Contagion I highly doubt
For it's very easy to surmount
That I have not of late
Spent much time with dear Kate
So who knows what this is all about?"
Re: Talk to Rick - CW [Week Five]
"I hope, though it may be in vain,
That you can avoid it happening again.
I assume you do not wish to shirk,
And came to me for make-up work,
However, I am glad to say,
That luck is with you this day,
You only missed the chance to brag,
We spent last week playing laser-tag."

"Then that is most fortuitous," Valentine said,
"As I'd have wound up a sour-puss.
Because I can't aim
I'd've spoiled the game
And it'd be best to avoid all that fuss."
