Early British Parodies
Ok this may sound stupid, but I had to write parodies of a few of the major early british poets for my Early British Lit class. They're supposed to be written in the style of each respective poet, and they're also supposed to discuss finals week at college. In any case, I decided to share them with you all!
Beowulf’s Poet Swarmed with ‘signments, beaten by books They sojourned on, ready for summer. Fighting for freedom they held up their heads The final said she, would be part spoken Laughter and lightness filled up the room They convened by computers assembling their answers Wrote what’s required and nothing more They learned their lessons and made their marks! Chaucer The room was barren, cold and lifeless The students walked in, I could feel their high stress They spoke, “how can she be so cruel? Making us work hard outside of school?” “quiet!” said the teacher, “you have it so well” “now read John Milton or you’re going to hell!” So they read and read, a semester through And left without a simple ‘thank you’ Coming soon: the Bard, Milton and Samuel Johnson! |
