Answer 2

What a pain in the ---- these assignments are, huh? Never mind. Here's a plan: Copy one of Shakespeare's famous sonnets from http://www.sonnets.org/shakespeare.htm#012 and replace the nouns and a few adjectives. Example:

When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls, all silver'd o'er with white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves,
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer's green all girded up in sheaves,
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard;
Then of thy beauty do I question make,
That thou among the wastes of time must go,
Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake,
And die as fast as they see others grow;
And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence
Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.

might become:

When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the third quarter of day a mere fraction in hideous night;
When I behold the violet divided from leaf,

...

.. if you see what I mean. You can tweak these things to quite humorous effect if so inclined. See the curiosities of Sonnet Central http://www.sonnets.org/misc.htm.
