Run Internet searches on your key words "A Modest Proposal," for commentaries on that story, run the terms you need to satirize including abstinence from whatever (alcohol, sex, drugs). Once you understand what you're doing, just have fun with it. Get to work, slacker!

Liken it to eating that twinky that always seems to make you breakout. Suggest that the consequences of the twinky make it difficult to date hence you obtain abstinence. Therefore, abstain from twinky eating. That is satire and irony.
