I assume most of you are familiar with what Mad Libs are. Basically, you're given a bunch of blanks to fill in, and you do so without knowing what the story is. Each blank has a part of speech labeling it, and that blank needs something that fits the part of speech. For example: Adjective: ________ --> Adjective: Explosive In the end, we usually have a hilarious end result that makes no sense whatsoever. One example is this (which is a real result I got once with my siblings): "Another way to help you fall asleep faster is drinking a nuclear glass of warm vinegar ." First, let's go over some rules. Obviously, keep it family friendly. This still goes for all blog content. Do not submit two words in a row. Submit one, and when someone else does one, you may do another. Submit through comments. That'll make it easier for me to assemble the final result. The category is Medieval Heroes . Here are the blanks: Adjective: Constipated (Kyra) Per
This is hilarious! You did a great job writing anthropomorphism. I almost pity trash cans.
ReplyDeleteGeez, now I'm never gonna be able to see trash cans the same way! XD
"New" and "Life of a Trash Can" were the two poems I wrote Monday night lol. For the record, I didn't actually hug a trash can, though I did consider it
DeleteThat's what i thought.
DeleteThat's good, 'cause we were working with food, and if the people in charge saw you, they probably wouldn't let you work the rest of the night. XD
...hmm...maybe I should have hugged the trash can after all :/
Deletelol. I won't be surprised if you do hug a trash can next week. lol
DeleteWell, to be honest, I think now you're the one who's gonna hug a trash can :D
Deletetrue, true. Don't dare me, though! I cannot resist a dare. (guess who always wins in true or dare)
DeleteSo this was where that weird trashcan conversation you guys were having came from. But yes, Mark, I definitely would not have been to happy with you if you had hugged a trashcan. XD
DeleteAnd Kyra PLEASE don't get any ideas XD
Anyway, this is really funny :D
Yes, this was the root of all trashcan conversations we have had in the past lol
DeleteStatistically speaking, you can just skip the "PLEASE don't get any ideas" because she's bound to have already gotten ideas
Thank you :D
Lol yeah I'm sure she already did ;)
DeleteProbably shouldn't have reminded her about it XD
This is KYRA we're talking about, after all
DeleteEh, pretty sure she'll remember each time she sees a trash can
Lol true ;)
DeleteAwh this is beautiful, it's actually kind of sad, from a humanly perspective and from the perspective of a trash can. This is really interesting, and I love how I now see a trash can as an object that deserves life and meaning like many other unwanted things in this world. Amazing job :)
ReplyDeleteNoooooo, not sad, it's supposed to be funny! :O
Delete-facepalm- Well, there goes that lol
Anyways, thanks for the encouragement :P
I think in a certain aspect, you pity the trashcan, but then you realize "wait, this is a TRASHCAN!" and end up laughing. It's really weird how it works. XD
DeleteLol That's why the last line is there, to shatter that sorrow and give you a good laugh XD
DeleteI'm taking notes. I always struggle to find a balance of "Aw! Poor trashcan! :'(" and "HAHA! POOR TRASHCAN!" XD
DeleteHaha! I can see how it's supposed to be funny but... idk it just seems sad like a lonely lil trash can XD
DeleteTrash cans are inanimate objects used to store garbage, and they are literally filthy. Don't feel bad for it, it's feelings won't be hurt because it's got no feelings lol
Delete… How do you know it doesn't have feelings though? Just because it's labeled trash doesn't mean it is. And what about a NEW trash can? Those aren't filthy? :D
DeleteHumanity cannot create life with real emotions, therefore trash cans are inanimate, emotionless husks of garbage. It's literally what they are :/
DeleteActually, they are not trash themselves, they HOLD trash :D
Delete"Husks of garbage"; a husk is not necessarily the actual object, just a shell of sorts. Trash cans are shells for garbage. I didn't misspeak, trust me, between you and Kyra, I've learned to choose my words carefully lol
Deleteyup!
DeleteBut good point for the husk stuff. Even the husk is trash when you're done with it (unless you want to pull a Little House on the Prairie and make corn husk dolls)
It's called "recycling". Even people who are anti-recycling actually recycle trash cans for reusage lol
Deletetrue. but what if they're the junky trash cans that are made of white plastic (the type you put in bathrooms) and are ultra breakable. After a year or 2, they become the trash XD
DeleteThis is really funny. Trash cans definitely need some appreciation.
ReplyDeleteAnd besides, I’ve cleaned trash cans before, and they are pretty sad inside. Lol.
Awesome poem, though. Very humorous and very creative. -thumbs up-
Lol Thank you :D
DeleteI relate too much to the trash can. I actually don't find this poem funny, weirdly enough, it feels sad. Like you're just personifying the trash can to represent the way it feels to be left aside and lonely. Sort of just sitting in the background. I really, really, like this poem for the deeper meaning of it.
ReplyDeleteTrue, I suppose :/
DeleteAnyways, thank you :)
I asked Charlie if they liked this poem, and she told me, "In no way am I hugging a trash can! For all you know there can be some little, still- scavenging, vicious red- eyed raccoon!"
ReplyDeleteAnd I totally agreed with her. (Okay, technically I agreed with myself and I did not speak to my own person and referred to myself as Charlie. That's weird, even if I did that in the comments. That's some thing completely different.)
As well, the poem itself on a symbolic level, is actually quite sad and pretty. I agree, with Marysa on this one. If you really start to think about it, all mirth it held faded. But, if you don't overthink about it and your first thought is of a raccoon its pretty funny. Either way, I found it entertaining.
Lol Charlie has a good point, then XD
DeleteAnd I've seen many talk to themselves while maintaining a secret identity, but so far, I'm the only one who does that after the identity isn't so secret :/ Well, and my best friend, but he got it from me XD
Thank you, Shaly :D
Do you mind if i wrote a parody/sequel to this called "the Revenge of the Trashcans" or something?
ReplyDelete...oh boy XD
DeleteGo ahead, I'm interested to see how well you'll do. Consider it a challenge, actually: will Spitfire's Bacon Parody be better than Kyra's Trash Can Parody?! FIND OUT SOON! :D
Ah, shoot, I'm gonna include that in the second News Issue tomorrow :/
DeleteOh boy is right. XD
DeleteWow. i bet it's gonna be a close call. lol.
Nevermind, News #2 is coming today XD
DeleteAwesome!
DeleteI now fear that my trash cans have gained sentence.
ReplyDeleteAll that trash can needs is a little huge :)
DeleteGet away from me you talking trashcans. Ahhhhhhhhh (as I am slowly smothered by angry or lonely trash cans).
DeleteTrash can yells: join us in are rebellion or you will be taken out by the trash.
Whelp, my poem has unwittingly turned the tide in the war :O
DeleteWhat sort of trash talk is this?! XD
ReplyDeleteI wasn't going to butt in but THAT WAS SO GOOD.
DeleteYeah, It was pretty pun-ny. (thx, btw)
Delete
