Would you want to play some poetry mad libs? I think yes. Would you be even more excited if much of this poetry were in cockney rhyming slang? I thought so!
(Now that I've tested my Dora the Explorer method of writing, I'll move along.)
I've been a little obsessed with cockney for the last year or so. There are a few books that I have been just looking for an excuse to buy. I think I may have found it. The excuse. For the final project I'm thinking a Mad Libs-esque poetry page. It is basically a hypertext narrative, only there isn't necessarily a narrative. I ought to have discussed this, most likely, with the teachers. Instead, I'm moving ahead like I've got a plan and a goal and a keen desire to make a complicated page and complicate it with complicated language. I hope they like it. I hope I like it. I hope I can write more cockney poems. If it was just a one time fluke, this project will be a fail.
Also, if this doesn't work out I'm not sure what I'll do. In my soon-to-be-a-crotchety-hermit way I hate being filmed/having pictures taken, am repulsed by Twitter, and especially hate when people get on my lawn. What does this possibly leave me for alternative projects?
Cheers,
LV

Cockney rhyming slang is THE BEST.
(I'd love to take a butcher's at your finished project.)
