Silly art class is silly

I'm taking an art curriculum and methods class this term, and our first real assignment coupled a scribble drawing with a word-wrap poem. A scribble drawing is where you scribble for 5 seconds and then look for something in those scribbles and then make it into a real drawing. A word-wrap poem is where you do free association (in this case based on what you drew) in a list and then fill in words before and after your list to make a poem.

Sounds kind of ridiculous, right? Right. Well, it's designed for elementary students, so it makes sense. I couldn't seem to not make my poem into a limerick, not sure why. It didn't end up being as dirty as it could have, and I'm kind of glad.

Here is the end result:

~The Prince of Town~
There was a young prince of a town
Who would prance around town in his crown
He danced country and courtly
Swing, contra, and lordly
Some say there was fire in his pants.




Like I said, could have been way worse.
